My son has several different cups that he uses (and really likes). We have the Playtex ones ans some Nuby ones! I went to go refill his Nuby one today (clean) and as I went to go put the valve into it I noticed that there was some black mold IN the valve. I Clean them DAILY in hot (virtually boiling) water and soap, I rinse them very well and I let them dry well before putting them away.

What is causing this? And is there anyway I can get rid of it (safely) so he can keep using his cups? Or should I just scrap the whole thing and buy some new ones (you cant buy new valves for these ones like you can with the Playtex).
Has this happened to anyone, and do you have any suggestions for me to at the very least prevent it from happening?
I’m so irritated!!
Many thanks!
These are the cups in question: (except there is no print, they are plain colored)
