UM ya def don't waste your $. A drop of dish soap works just fine. It' what the NICU said to use with hot water and we've had no issues. What a $ scam.
I used medela wipes on pump parts, and I did actually use bottle soap. I felt like it got the milk residue out better and easier than regular soap. I used Dapple or Seventh Generation
Huh. I actually had a lot of trouble getting bottles and nipples clean last time, no matter how hot the water or how much I scrubbed, there was just a weird residue. The dishwasher did a terrible job too, it especially left the nipples looking all gross (newer dishwasher and no other residue issues, only BM). I always rinsed everything immediately afterwards also.
If I have the same troubles this time I would consider trying it, I don't plan to pump often so if it worked it'd be worth it.
I also suspected that I had extra lipase in my milk, I wonder if that could cause the reside. Off to google..
A drop of Dawn is all I used, I swear by Dawn though it seriously cleans everything. The Target Up&UP "Dawn" works really well too. But I wouldn't waste your money on specialty soap.
My MIL (who babysits) always uses Dawn or whatever normal soap. I hated how it left a scent behind on the plastic and I swear the nipples were always cloudy. I just had a better experience using bottle soap, so it can't hurt to try a sample and see if you have a better/different experience.
