bottles smell soapy

MamaAloha

background- I started pumping for my EBF baby last week when I returned to work. Prior to that I had never used a bottle, so this is all still new to me...

After washing and drying bottles the medela bottles smell like the orange-scented dish soap I've used. I wash bottles in really hot water with only the tiniest amount of soap and then rinse really, really well. 

I went to the store to try and get an unscented dish soap but couldn't find anything. Is there a baby-friendly dish soap I don't know about?

(I don't have a dish washer or microwave, so hand washing is my only option) Am I going to have to boil all these bottles after washing them everyday?  

TIA!

I use babyganics foaming unscented bottle soap. It rinses really clean and the bottle seems to last a long time!

I use Baby Palmolive which I can only get off Amazon or from Walmart.

This is what I use and never had a problem with that soap smell.

I love Method products. They aren't made specifically for babies, but they're earth-friendly, and the scents aren't too strong.

I also have to hand wash everything. I usually just use soap and water. We use Ecover dish soap, and it doesn't seem to leave a residue. I also periodically microwave the bottles and pump parts in the Medela steam bags.

Edit: just re read that you don't have a microwave, oops.

thanks everyone! I'm not sure now why I couldn't figure that out on my own, but am grateful for your replies. 

I went to BRU for the babyganics and they were sold out, but found a Seventh Generation unscented. Much better than the orange stuff!
