How to use the Mooncup® cleaning pot in the microwave

If you're new to using a Mooncup® or looking for an easier way to clean it than pulling out your pots and pans, this blog post is here to show you how to use the Mooncup® cleaning pot in the microwave.

How to use the Mooncup® cleaning pot in the microwave

Step 1: Rinse your Mooncup®

Before you sterilise, make sure to rinse your Mooncup® under running water. 

😍 It's important to not miss this step when using your Mooncup® cleaning pot. This will remove the bulk of the residual fluids and ensure a cleaner sterilisation process.

Step 2: Prepare the cleaning pot

Take your Mooncup® cleaning pot and add approximately 50ml of drinking water. Gently place your Mooncup inside the pot, sitting rim down to ensure it's fully immersed.

Step 3: Microwave with care

Next, place the lid on top of the pot, but resist the temptation to seal it tightly. Leave the lid loose to allow steam to escape and to avoid pressure build-up. Set your microwave to 750-900 watts and time it for three minutes.

Step 4: Allow to cool

Once the microwave cycle is complete, do not be hasty in removing the cleaning pot. It's important to allow the pot (and its contents) to stand in the microwave for an additional ten minutes.

Step 5: Carefully remove cleaning pot

After standing, put on oven gloves to carefully remove the hot pot from the microwave. Place it on a heat-resistant surface and allow it to cool fully before handling further.

 

Safety tips while using the Mooncup® cleaning pot in the microwave

Handle with care

Storage advisory

Remember never to store your Mooncup® inside the cleaning pot.
