The best chemical sterilizers

Chemical (or cold) sterilization is performed without connecting the device to a power source and heating the dishes.

To disinfect, add a safe antibacterial agent in the form of a liquid or tablet to a container of water, and after complete dissolution, immerse children’s dishes in it.

Devices of this type are convenient to use on the road when there is no access to electricity. They are quite rare, and special cleaning concentrates are not sold everywhere.

When using a chemical sterilizer, you need to monitor the expiration date of the solution. It is convenient when the device has an indicator with the date and time of its last replacement.
