About Milton
Milton is a pioneering British sterilisation brand with over 100 years of heritage protecting babies. Founded in 1916 and named after poet John Milton—whose former London home housed their first production facility while he wrote Paradise Lost—the brand developed an electrolytic process creating a non-toxic, stable disinfectant that was even used in WWI trenches to treat burns and chemical attack effects. Milton's defining moment came in the late 1940s during a devastating hospital gastroenteritis outbreak that claimed 4,500 British babies under one year old. When the Ministry of Health issued a nationwide BBC appeal for solutions, Milton pioneered the cold water sterilisation method. The Milton Method successfully stopped the outbreak and has remained the NHS-trusted standard for baby bottle sterilisation ever since. Today Milton Pharmaceutical Company UK Ltd, based in Bristol and now part of Procter & Gamble, continues to innovate. Their modern range includes the original sterilising fluid and tablets, plus antibacterial hand gels, surface sprays, and wipes launched in 2003. The 2010s brought microwave sterilisers: the Combi Steriliser, Solo Travel Steriliser, and Mini Soother Steriliser. Milton products are trusted by midwives, healthcare professionals, and parents across the UK.
