How to Set Up the Boon Grass Drying Rack and Brush Set

Quick answer

Place the Grass Drying Rack on a stable, dry counter near your sink, then use the Cacti Brush Set to clean bottles, nipples, and straws before setting them upright on the rack to air-dry.

Step-by-step setup and daily routine

1. Unpack and position the rack: Remove all packaging and place the Grass Drying Rack on a flat, dry counter within easy reach of your sink. Leave clearance on all sides for airflow. Common mistake: putting it too close to a wall or under a cabinet, which traps moisture. Check that the rack sits stable and doesn’t wobble before loading it.
2. Rinse and fill the water tray: Slide out the removable water tray and rinse it clean. Slide it back into place under the grass blades. The tray catches drips, so make sure it’s fully seated. Common mistake: forgetting to empty the tray after a few uses, which can lead to standing water. Empty the tray at least once a day if you dry bottles daily.
3. Clean bottles with the Cacti brushes: Use the large bottle brush for the bottle body, the small brush for nipples, and the straw brush for straws or valve parts. Scrub with warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly. Common mistake: skipping the nipple brush and relying only on the bottle brush, which leaves residue in tight spots. Match each brush to its part—don’t force a large brush into a nipple opening.
4. Arrange items on the rack for airflow: Set bottles upside down over the grass blades so water can drain. Place nipples and small parts in open areas, not stacked on top of each other. Keep items spaced apart. Common mistake: crowding everything together, which blocks airflow and slows drying. If items still feel wet after a few hours, try spreading them out more.
5. Clean the rack and brushes weekly: Wash the grass rack and tray with warm, soapy water, then rinse and air-dry. Rinse brushes after every use and let them dry fully. Common mistake: letting milk residue build up on the rack or brush bristles, which can harbor bacteria. Set a weekly reminder to deep-clean the rack and inspect brush bristles for wear.
