Quick answer
Yes, the Pigeon 8oz silicone coated glass baby bottle is dishwasher safe, but using the top rack and a gentle cycle is best to preserve the silicone coating and prevent glass contact with heating elements.
Why top-rack dishwasher placement matters
The silicone coating is designed for durability, but repeated exposure to high heat on the bottom rack—near the heating element—can accelerate wear. Placing the bottle on the top rack keeps it away from the most intense heat, helping the silicone stay soft and protective longer.
Glass itself is dishwasher safe, but rapid temperature changes (like a hot rinse cycle hitting cold glass) can cause thermal shock. The silicone layer adds insulation, but it's still wise to avoid the heated dry cycle if your dishwasher has one.
Hand washing as an alternative
If you prefer to hand wash, use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge. The wide-neck opening makes the interior easy to reach without a bottle brush, though a brush can help with stubborn milk residue. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the silicone or glass.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the nipple and cap in the dishwasher?
Pigeon recommends washing nipples and caps by hand with warm soapy water. Dishwasher cycles can degrade silicone nipples faster and may distort the cap's fit over time.
What about the silicone coating—will it peel?
The silicone coating is bonded to the glass and is not designed to peel off under normal use. However, using abrasive cleaners or a bottom-rack dishwasher cycle with high heat could cause surface wear over many washes. Stick to top-rack or hand washing to keep the coating intact.
Is the bottle microwave safe?
The glass interior is microwave safe, but the silicone coating may not be. To be safe, remove the silicone sleeve (if detachable) before microwaving, or avoid microwaving altogether. Always test the temperature of the milk before feeding. Remove silicone sleeve before microwaving if possible.
