How do I clean and disinfect my Philips Avent breast pump?

Published on 01 April 2025

Clean your pump before the first use and after every pumping session, especially any parts that come in contact with milk.

Check the recommended cleaning and disinfection methods for your pump model below.

Note: You do not need to disinfect parts that do not come in contact with milk. You can clean the motor unit and power adapter for electric pumps by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth. Keep the silicone tubes dry at all times to prevent liquid from getting into the motor unit.
