I’ve been noticing an oily residue on bottles after washing in hot soapy water and scrubbing with a bottle brush and then using a sterilizer. I rinse them very well so I don’t think it’s soap residue. Usually when I wash and sterilize a second time it comes off. Anyone else experience this?

I was wondering if anyone had some advice of making bottles abroad. I am taking the Nuby rapid cool with us but we will be out and about a fair bit in the day so won’t be able to wash and re sterilise. We are using pre made for the plane journey but can’t justify the cost for 10 days worth!
