“I’m a mum of 9 and I’ve used these for many years for so many different things I use these to clean my baby’s bottles , plastic cutlery ,bowls plates etc and I even use them to pre soak my childrens white school socks/uniform and they come up perfectly white every time.”
Customer
“I personally hate sterilising because it’s very long. And my baby is impatient. When he wants milk, he wants it now! I used to always burn my hands touching the hot bottles. These tablets make my life easier! Not more burning hands. You just put cold water in a big bowl, add one tablet. Then you wash baby bottles with liquid properly, rinse and then place it in the bowl. 15 mins later, it’s done and you don’t need to rinse the bottle (but I do because it has a strong smell)”
Customer
“Use these to clean water/ drinking bottles – more convenient than liquid& easier to get through customs when travelling/ living abroad”
Customer
“Great and so easy for sterilising ! Literally throw the tab into water in the steriliser , let it dissolve and it’s good to go for up to 24hours ! Perfect for travelling too as they don’t take up any room in the case of you can slip them into your hand luggage ! A must have !”
Customer
“I love Milton tabs. They are so multi use. I use them to sterilise the kids water bottles, keep whites white (especially the school polo tops) clean the garden toys, clean the bath toys, I use them in the water feature in the garden as the water goes stagnant. I also love to clean my ceramic sink with them as it gets rid of all the stains.”
Customer
“Having used these tablets to sterilise my babies dummies years ago, I turn to these to add to my washing up water whenever someone in my household has a cold, to help prevent the spread of the germs. I would not use anything else. I also soak my dishcloths in a Milton tablet at night so I know I always have a clean dishcloth. I personally wash all my fruit and vegetables in a very diluted amount, and then rinse very thoroughly. I usually add a couple of tablets to my mop bucket and make sure my floors are clean. There are lots of uses, I also soak my toothbrush heads in a Milton solution in between the three monthly change. I always make sure I have a few boxes in my cupboard. Thank you Milton!”
Customer
“This brand is my go to. I have a Milton water steriliser that I’ve used with both of my kids and had no issues. I use Milton all around the house. It’s essential in my house “
Customer

Customer
“Fast and effective product!
As a new mum I love the Milton brand, it’s so quick and easy to use and so effective!
These tablets are no exception, they give peace of mind and take no time at all to use, they can even be split up of you don’t need the whole tablet so they can be used with the cold water steriliser, the Milton Solo Steriliser or the Milton Dummy Steriliser.”
