    run some water through them, then grab one end of the tubing and swing it around beside you or over your head really fast  so that you hear it whipping through the air.  This will help clear the water out.  Then plug your tubing into the pump without bottles on and let it run for 5-10 minutes and it will dry out.  If you are using a medela, make sure the next time you pump that the little white flapper thing is not stuck closed because that will cause milk to back up into tubing.

    If you have a Medela this is in the FAQ section as it happens a lot. Just rinse them and let the pump blow air through them for a bit.
