steriliser
Kills all microbes
A steriliser is a device or substance that eliminates microorganisms from objects or surfaces.
Baby bottle sterilisers use steam or UV light to sanitize feeding equipment.
Medical sterilisers process surgical instruments.
The spelling is British; Americans write sterilizer.
