I just use regular dish soap. I do use a baby facecloth to wash them and keep that separate from my regular dish cloth. And I make sure to rinse them well with hot water and sit them to air dry on a baby bottle specific towel.
I have only boiled my bottles and accessories once when I first bought them. I hope that's not bad!?!?!
i just use regular dishsoap. i was them with a bottle brush, and then put them on a bottle drying rack. its all kept on the other side of the sink so it doesn't get mixed with regular dishes or anything. i also sanitize them in the dishwasher once a week.

This exactly. I try to sterilize them in the microwave once a week but i don't freak out if it doesn't happen.
We use either Seventh Generation or Method - nothing special for baby. As long as you rinse them well and air dry, I think anything is fine. We just prefer the eco-friendly ones - fewer crazy chemicals.

I'm with others - just regular old dish soap. Hot water is a must, and full drying on their own towel/rack. Since DD started daycare, I will boil her nipples and pacifiers once a week.
This one, I was using baby palmolive I think, but it was leaving soap residue. It was freaking me out that no matter how much I rinsed there was always soap. I also sterlize my bottles every day I use plastic avent bottles im just so freaked about germs when it comes to plastic.
I use Dapple or Sun and Earth. Most "regular" detergents are petroleum based and do leave a residue.

Agreed. Dapple is plant based and rinses beautifully!
