Barb suggests running the pump briefly without the bottles to "dry"
the tubing.  I have found a way that's quite effective.  (We need to
do this from time to time when mom \is using a classic pump,
mistakenly washed the tubing, then gets water from the tubing on the
filter rendering it useless.)
First of all, blotting with a tissue seems to be enough to dry the
filter.
To dry the tubing, hold the tubes about in the middle, stand in the
middle of a hall or room with noone near and whip the tubing around
several times like a lariat (the circle the tubing makes is
vertical, not horizontal).  Then switch ends of tubing and repeat.
I find this gets the tubing dry enough in just a few seconds.
