I sterilize too. Lately, I noticed there was a thin layer of buildup going on. Not cool and ew!</p> <p>@lindseykaye: I'm a fan of the pump as well. I think it pumps better than my Medela Freestyle does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-ameda-purely-yours-flanges#post-1159161 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:49:07 +0000 mrskc 1159161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yikes, I've never scrubbed there! I rinse immediately then soak them in hot soapy water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-ameda-purely-yours-flanges#post-1159103 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:33:03 +0000 lindseykaye 1159103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, straw brush - and brush well! I had an issue not long ago where I found mold growing in that space after I let DH clean my parts for me and then I didn't look closely enough. </p> <p>I was given a good tip of using a q-tip for the membranes as it's soft enough and fits in those (found mold there, too).</p> <p>I love this pump, but man does it have some teeny places to clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-clean-ameda-purely-yours-flanges#post-1159090 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:29:59 +0000 Alivoo01 1159090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is perfect!!

A q-tip nor a bottle brush fits down in there! </p>
