Abstract
A method of cleaning articles, such as infant feeding bottles is disclosed. The method provides for the use of alkali metal chloride, more particularly sodium chloride. The salt is deposited into the article to be cleaned, then water is added, and then the article is shaken to cause the crystalline substance to contact the interior walls of the container, thereby cleaning and sanitizing the interior of the article.
Claims7
A method of cleaning infant feeding bottles, comprising the steps of:
- (a) depositing one part by weight of sodium chloride in crystal form in an infant feeding bottle;
- (b) depositing between one and one half parts to two parts by weight of water in the infant feeding bottle;
- (c) immediately initiating shaking of the infant feeding bottle, causing contact of the sodium chloride with interior walls of the infant feeding bottle, thereby dislodging and dissolving impurities deposited on the interior walls of the infant feeding bottle.
A method of cleaning and sanitizing infant feeding bottle, comprising the steps of:
- depositing a pre-determined amount of sodium chloride in crystal form into the infant feeding bottle,
- depositing a pre-determined amount of water at ambient temperature into the infant feeding bottle;
- vigorously shaking the infant feeding bottle, while at least a portion of the sodium chloride remains non-dissolved in water, thereby causing abrasive action on foreign particles adhering to interior wall of the infant feeding bottle, while dissolving fatty substances present in the infant feeding bottle and sanitizing interior of the infant feeding bottle.
