Cleaning - Am I over doing it?

Question

Question for the group.. for those pumping after most feedings (3+ times a day).  How do you handle cleaning the pump parts? I have two sets so it starts off fine but I find myself overwhelmed getting everything clean & dry in time for pump 3+. I've been soaking everything in very hot water w/ bottle soap for 5-10 mins then scrubbing and laying out to dry. Am I over doing it? 
Context - Im trying to increase supply & save up a few days worth for my husband to use durring a trip Im taking this summer.

Answer

I pump 6 times a day and use the fridge hack. I have 2 sets I rotate through about every 12 hours. I wash with hot water and bottle soap and sterilize all the parts in the microwave.

Answer

When I did pump, I just put a bit of dawn or palmolive over the parts, scrubbed with my hand, rinsed with hot water, and dried with a designated towel for clean pump parts. 
This is how the hospital told us to clean the pump parts after every use.
No need to soak. No need to scrub with a brush or sponge. No need to air dry if you are rushed. 
The fridge hack is not recommended.

Answer

I use the fridge hack. I take the bottles and flanges off the pump and pop them right in the fridge after pumping without rinsing. I wash with hot soap and water after my last pump at the end of the day and let them air dry overnight. 
If that’s not your jam, get a bottle sterilizer or the Medela steamer bags. You just rinse your bottles and flanges with hot water, put them in and then pop it in the microwave. Either air dry or use a clean towel to dry.

Answer

I don't pump. But a question, why is it so hard to clean? Do you leave it for later?
As milk is liquid, then rinsing with hot water right after using is most likely fine. Deep clean once a day.

Answer

I pump 4 times a day and always wash my pump stuff right away afterwards. After I wash I use the Phillips steam sterilizer to disinfect and dry and store the pump stuff until next use. I like it because I just quickly wash the pump stuff and pop it in and turn it on and then I know it's perfectly sterilized and dry on next use. So I def don't think your overdoing it 😅 maybe I am. But I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Answer

I don’t soak.  I just spray dawn power wash over them while holding the parts in my hands and rinse and put in the dry rack.  If they’re still a little wet when I need to use again I dry with a proper towel.

Answer

Iwashed it with washing up liquid and a dish br7sh for the hard to reach bits and then put it in the steriliser. By the time I had to pump again it was nice and clean and dry. I only had one pump and one set of parts and never struggled with the cleaning and getting it ready for next pumping session and I exclusively pumped for 3 months. 🤷‍♀️
