How often should I descale my Philips Avent bottle warmer?

Published on 15 July 2025

Descale your Philips Avent Premium 2-in-1 Warmer & Sterilizer or Premium Fast Bottle Warmer every 2 weeks to help it run well and last longer.

Scale is white or brown calcium deposits that are left over from hard water evaporating in the appliance.

If you notice your appliance has a lot of scale buildup, it’s a good time to consider cleaning and descaling, even if you're still within the 2-week timeframe.

Is it safe to warm vinegar-based descaling solution?

Yes, it is safe to warm the descaling solution, but it will produce a strong vinegar smell. Place the appliance in a well-ventilated area during descaling.
