I too wonder how you clean that part of the flange that is divided as my bottle brush doesn't get in there. When it gets too icky I sterilize in boiling water which took care of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1062062 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 11:41:34 +0000 Mrsbells 1062062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1062023 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 11:27:33 +0000 Mommytotwois 1062023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one off FINALLY and then had DH take the other 3 off. Such a relief!!! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1057278 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:08:29 +0000 bisous 1057278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if it will help, but DH was able to get mine off after running under reeeeeally hot water. Before that, neither of us were able to get it off! I have the PISA, so basically the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1057267 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:00:03 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1057267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had to have my husband get the yellow part off for me more times than I can remember. I know it comes off, but sometimes I can't work it! I also use my Dr. Browns skinny brush to clean the area the top red arrow is pointing to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056422 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 17:43:24 +0000 autumnlove 1056422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The yellow part comes off, I use straw brushes and q tips and then I boil the parts! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056413 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 17:40:13 +0000 dojo 1056413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been known to use my teeth to get the yellow part off when it was really stuck... :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056351 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:55:07 +0000 Mommytotwois 1056351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you so much ladies! Now I am determined to get that thing off!

Those buggers always give me trouble! I clean them with a teensy thin bottle brush. I buy them in big packs at Target, or I use the brush from my Dr Browns bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056326 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:42:01 +0000 katsupgirl 1056326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just flush it with hot water or boil the pump parts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056323 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:41:07 +0000 HabesBabe 1056323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommytotwois: the yellow part definitely comes off! try submerging it in warm water, then twist/pull again! i have to use pliers once... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056321 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:41:06 +0000 sunny 1056321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The yellow part definitely comes off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056316 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:38:42 +0000 Mommytotwois 1056316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sparks: I have tried twisting and pulling!! Ok I need to try harder I guess. What if I can't get it off?? I'm panicking because the area where the top red arrow is pointing to is dirty on one of mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056313 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:35:48 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1056313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The yellow piece should definitely come off...how weird!

It's the medela double electric</p> <p>ETA: This is the name "Medela Advanced Personal Double Electric Breastpump " </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056295 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:27:59 +0000 Arden 1056295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The little white tab pops off the yellow thing and the yellow thing comes off too. At least it does on mine. Which pump is this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056282 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:21:36 +0000 Mommytotwois 1056282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I don't think so! i have tried pulling it off and I don't think it comes off......but it should </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056277 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:19:01 +0000 Mrsbells 1056277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>is that yellow piece not removable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-clean-this#post-1056274 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 16:18:06 +0000 Mommytotwois 1056274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do I clean these two areas......?
