Comments about Munchkin Sprout Drying Rack:

Just writing in to say, I have no idea why others are having mold issues and cleaning issues. My summers are super humid and I've never had mold. I use my rack constantly, my dishes dry fast and the only cruddy build up i get is so minimal I only have to give this thing a wash every 6 months or so. And, I'm a clean freak. It comes apart easy. I don't know if there is better out there. But this one does the trick.

I say this is "tricky" to clean instead of "hard" to clean because it just takes a bit of effort to pull the whole thing apart to wash all the bits well enough. BUT, it's not hard … just tricky.

I live in Utah, so I don't have any problems with humidity that would facilitate mold growth, but it surprises me that this thing would be any grosser than any other thing that gets used in a dirty kitchen and collects water. For me, I've been using it for almost 9 months and I've cleaned it only twice. Gross, I know, but I am very fastidious about cleaning my bottle and pump parts which then go into the steam sterilizer before being used. When I've cleaned the rack, the only build-up I've noticed is hard-water deposits. So, I reckon you'd only have a real problem with stuff growing in the bottom of this thing if you don't wash your stuff well enough and milk/formula/food stuffs start collecting?

Anyway, there are plenty of arms to hang your bottles and other feeding bits from. The center cup doesn't seem large enough (At. All.) to hold a bottle cleaner, but I do keep a pen in there for labeling my milk storage bags.

This rack is small enough that it fits nicely to the side of the sink and leaves plenty of counter space. And it looks nice. I like it!

After reading the reviews for some of the similar products out there, this one had the best reviews so I purchased it. Now that my baby is here, what a relief to have this to keep all my bottles to nipples separate from my dishes, etc. It does its job and no problems with it! Just the way I like it!

So, I purchased two of these "cool" looking drying racks for my new twin boys bottles... after a couple of weeks I noticed a smell coming from the rack. I cleaned the tray and green rack piece once a week and mold still grew on it. HORRIBLE if you don't realize this in advance. Going back to my old rack where you can easy see everything and not worry about what's under the rack.

I've tried three bottle drying racks, and this is my favorite one. It's so compact--takes up loads less space than the others I've used, and there is a place for everything. It's not great with highly specialized bottles, like Dr. Brown's, but it's great for everything else.

I'm really liking this and is much better than putting bottles upside down on a towel to dry (which we had been doing). It can dry 6 Born Free bottles including the valve systems, nipples, etc... very well. I can also hold my Medela breastpump parts. I keep my bottle brush in the center cup which is very convenient. So far I'm happy I bought this instead of spending more on the Skip Hop rack.
