Wash it well: Wash each individual piece well with soap and water with dedicated cleaning utensils. You can also use those handy microwave sterilizing bags to finish the job.

Rinse/dishwasher: The pump itself isn't meant to be "cleaned"-- only the parts that touch you and touch the milk need to be washed. Check the manufacturer's instructions, but for most of them the reservoir bottles and the funnel-shaped part that goes against your breast (sometimes called the "shield") can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. The tubing can be rinsed out by hand.
