I'm less concerned about what is in my own refrigerator as far as germs are
concerned.  However, mom who are pumping at work may well not have their own
little fridge and are therefore may be putting their parts in the community
fridge.call me overly squeamish - but I don't need other people's germs.I
have enough of my own!

 

I also know germs are everywhere and we do tend to go the route of overkill
with all the anti-bacterial foams and such (most of which I am allergic
to!).  My issue with all of this is simply good hygiene.  I just don't
believe that you can have even decent hygiene by placing used parts in a
fridge for 8-12 hours and washing them well once you get home.  If someone
else is OK with it then fine - but I stand by my recommendation to my
clients - rinse your parts at t he very least - don't just put them in the
fridge 'till next time.  :-)
