I just stick everything in the fridge while at work to avoid washing/rinsing until I get home.

When I did rinse, I'd do it in the bathroom. But for the most part I either stuck them in the fridge or used quick wipes.

I have a sink in my classroom that I use to rinse. If I pump somewhere else, I use a sink in one of the single-person bathrooms. I only rinse and store the parts with an ice pack; then I wash at home.

I wipe down with kleenex and store NOT in the frig. I figure if milk can be out 6-8 at room temp, so can my pump parts (between first and third pump). Never had any problems so far.

I just rinsed them off really good in the sink in the bathroom, quickly dried them with a paper towel and then wrapped them with a dry paper towel until I needed them again.

In the fridge - no rinsing. I told one of my good friends that I was so pleased that I thought of this time saving plan and she stopped in her tracks and uttered a few curse words. She just weaned her 2nd and had purchased about 5 sets of pump parts so she could use fresh ones at each pump....

I pump in a single bathroom and there is a sink in there obviously so I rinse right away.

I store them in the fridge in between sessions without rinsing/washing until I get home.

I just wipe everything down with pacifier wipes (same and cheaper than the medela wipes) and stick the parts in a ziploc bag in the office fridge. I just wipe it down to keep milk from getting all over the outside of the parts so I don't get sticky fingers from handling later
