Quick answer
Rinse the Pop pacifier after each use and wash it a few times a day with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Sterilize weekly by boiling for 5 minutes or using a steam sterilizer.
Why the Pop design makes cleaning easier
The Pop & Go pacifier's protective bubble keeps the nipple clean when it falls. You don't need to wash it every single time — just a few times a day is enough. The 100% silicone material resists stains and odors, and it's free of lead, PVC, BPA, latex, and phthalates.
When to sterilize vs. when to just wash
For daily use, a quick wash with mild soap and warm water is sufficient. Sterilize before first use, after illness, or if the pacifier has been dropped in a dirty area. Over-sterilizing can wear silicone faster, so stick to weekly sterilization for routine care.
Step-by-step cleaning and sterilizing guide
- Rinse after each use: Run the pacifier under warm tap water for a few seconds to remove saliva and dust. Shake off excess water. Don't skip this step even if you plan a deeper clean later — it prevents residue buildup.
- Wash with soap and water a few times a day: Use mild dish soap and warm water. Gently scrub the nipple and shield with your fingers or a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive sponges — they can scratch the silicone surface.
- Use the dishwasher for a deeper clean: Place the pacifier on the top rack of the dishwasher. Use a normal cycle with hot water. Remove before the drying cycle to prevent heat damage. Do not use the heated dry cycle — high heat can degrade silicone over time.
- Sterilize weekly (or after illness): Boil the pacifier in water for 5 minutes, or use a steam sterilizer according to its instructions. Let it cool completely before giving it to your baby. Check that the pacifier is fully submerged during boiling — floating parts may not get sterilized.
- Store properly between uses: Keep the pacifier in a clean, dry container or its protective bubble. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or near heat sources. A damp storage case can breed bacteria — make sure the pacifier is completely dry before storing.
