Sterilisation On-the-Go: Simplifying Parenthood with Our Portable UV Sterilisers

Sterilisation On-the-Go: Simplifying Parenthood with Our Portable UV Sterilisers

Introducing your new baby to the world marks a vital stage in your child’s development. During family outings, your curious little bub is eager to touch and taste everything around them—a healthy form of discovery which shows their advancing physical and cognitive development. However, this curiosity often results in dummies, sippy cups, and bottles being dropped on the floor during your daily stroll. Cleaning these essentials before handing them back to your baby can be challenging while on-the-move, but fear not! With New Beginnings' Portable UV Sterilisers, your outside adventures will no longer be a hassle, ensuring your baby is free from any germs or nasty bacteria.  Why should I try UV Sterilisation? To keep nasty tummy bugs at bay, it is crucial to keep your baby's accessories clean, especially during the first 12 months when their immune system is still developing. UV sterilisation is a highly effective method and kills 99% of germs, mould, viruses and bacteria, making it a highly efficient way of keeping your little ones out of harm’s way. Unlike chemical-based methods, UV sterilisation is chemical-free and doesn't leave behind any residue, ensuring your baby's accessories are safe for immediate use. Widely used by healthcare professionals such as doctors and surgeons, UV sterilisation is an affordable approach to cleaning you can trust.   Exploring the Portable 4-in-1 UV Steriliser & Portable Mini Steriliser Packing a bag before leaving the house can be difficult when your new bub comes along. You remember when the only staple items required for the day ahead were keys, phone, and purse or wallet. Nowadays, that seems to have quadrupled. You’ll need a bag big enough to carry nappies, hand sanitiser, wipes, change pads, sun cream, formula bottles, a change of clothes for all weather conditions – the list goes on. However, a portable steriliser is one thing that is worth adding to your list.  Compact and lightweight, our Portable Mini Steriliser is a handy little gadget that fits perfectly into any backpack or sling purse, ready to keep you prepared for when your baby inevitably throws their dummy into the abyss. With a simple open/close cover, this portable gadget allows you to stay focused on bub while popping their dummies into the compartment. After 6-8 minutes, the sterilisation is complete. If time-saving is what you require, especially if you're juggling the care of two or three little ones, why not try our Portable 4-in-1 Steriliser? With a much quicker 3-minute sterilising cycle, this steriliser offers a swift solution to meet the needs of busy parents. Along with its fast completion time, the 4-in-1 device has been designed to operate in complete silence, which is ideal for when you’re on a day out and bub has finally drifted off to sleep. Both the Portable 4-in-1 Steriliser and the Portable Mini Steriliser, have been crafted with you in mind, mum! As parents, we know how important time-saving devices are, especially when our days are filled with baby duties. Made with an automatic switch off feature, our UV sterilisers power off once their cycle has completed to save battery usage and prevent overexposure to chemicals so that bub’s accessories are clean and ready to go once again! What are parents saying about our UV sterilisers? "I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial and review the New Beginnings Portable Mini UV Steriliser. It's such a handy portable device, I honestly don't know how I lived without it until now! Amazing for when you're out and about! Gives you the peace of mind you need that anything you drop onto the ground etc can be quickly and easily sterilised and is safe again to use. What a great invention!" - mom358118 Want to find even more sterilisation options for you and bub? Take a look and discover the full New Beginnings’ Steriliser range!
