OK, sorry all if this had been asked before, but I did a search and couldn't find anything.

Here goes.

I normally sterilise jars before using them (new or otherwise). However, how do I clean those plastic boxes for cut comb? I have bought some from Ts, but worry about whether I should be cleaning them before use, and if so, how without damaging them or contaminating them.

Thanks in advance

Sally
 
I don't clean them because the wax is largely sealed. It has got me thinking though whether I should!
 
hot water and Milton with a good soak, rinse dry, off you go

chuffed you do this as you do not know the conditions they have been stored in ! or at where they have been made
