Cleaning Bottles

So I pump and breastfeed and I wanted to know what is the best way to clean the bottle? I notice on the nipple that its not clear and I want to know what am I doing wrong. I clean it with a bottle brush and let it air dry.

I used Playtex drop-ins, but I boil all the nipples in the mornings and then throughout the day if I need extra I wash with a bottle brush, really hot water, and dish soap.

A dishwasher works just fine. I use a brush to wipe out the nipples then throw it all in the dishwasher.

Have you tried the steamer bags? You still have to wash the parts, but that will sanitize the bottle pieces in just a couple of minutes.

Per PP, we use hot water, dish soap and the bottle brush, but sometimes the nipples still look a little cloudy.

I use a brush and hot water and yeah they look cloudy, so I wanted to know what else I could use. I know about the steamer bags, but they will get expense.

Hot water will make plastic parts look cloudy. They're still clean though.
