Milton Sterilising Fluid

Milton Sterilising Fluid is a well-known hygiene product primarily used for the cold water sterilisation of baby feeding equipment, breastfeeding accessories, and household surfaces. The 'Milton Method' was developed during World War I and gained widespread popularity for its efficacy in preventing gastroenteritis in infants. The product is valued for its ability to kill 99.9% of germs without requiring rinsing after use.

The brand is historically British, founded in 1916. Over the decades, it has evolved from a general disinfectant to a specialized range of baby care hygiene products. While it is manufactured primarily in the UK to serve the European and global markets, its distribution and local presence are managed by regional subsidiaries under the umbrella of its current corporate owners.

Currently, the brand is owned by the Laboratoire Milton, which is a subsidiary of the Rivadis Group (Groupe Rivadis), a French family-owned company specializing in hygiene and skin care products. This acquisition has helped the brand expand its presence beyond the UK, particularly across Europe and into medical environments like hospitals and nurseries.
