I have a pair of scissors that’s been in a mostly unopened cabinet for 5+ years. I wanted to cut open a bag of breastmilk with clean scissors but water and soap aren’t readily accessible at the moment.
The cabinet is in a former classroom so presumably the scissors were used by kids. My husband says using the scissors wouldn’t be sanitary. I believe him, but honestly I don’t understand why with time and no food the bacteria wouldn’t just die.
EDIT: I should have used the term sanitary not sterile. My baby is old enough that we don’t sanitize pump and bottle parts daily, just wash and dry after uses.

Your question has already been answered but you need to stop being so anal about germs, if your baby grows up in a sterile environment his/her immune system is not going to get strong and will constantly get sick later in life when finally exposed to that stuff. Let his/her immune system do its job and build up them antibodies.
