Quick answer

Wash silicone clip teethers daily with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. For deeper sanitizing, boil or steam the silicone teether part only — never boil the clip. The OneC™ Silicone Clip Teether Set from LOULOU LOLLIPOP is designed for easy cleaning, but the clip's metal spring needs special care to stay safe and functional.

Why cleaning silicone teethers matters

Silicone is non-porous and resists bacteria better than plastic or rubber, but it still collects saliva, dust, and food debris. A daily clean prevents buildup that could irritate your baby's gums or introduce germs. The clip portion, which attaches to clothing or a stroller, can trap dirt in the hinge area, so it needs separate attention during cleaning.

What you need to know about the clip

The OneC™ clip uses a one-piece silicone design with a hidden metal spring. You can wash the entire set in warm, soapy water, but you should not submerge the clip in boiling water or put it in the dishwasher. High heat can damage the spring's tension, making the clip less secure. Stick to hand washing for the clip and reserve boiling or steaming for the silicone teether piece only.

How to clean your silicone clip teether in 4 steps

  1. Step 1: Disassemble the set: Separate the clip from the teether if your set allows it. For the OneC™ set, the clip and teether are connected by a silicone loop — you can slide the teether off for individual cleaning. Common mistake: Washing them together can leave trapped moisture in the connection point. Always separate if possible.
  2. Step 2: Hand wash the clip: Use warm water and a mild dish soap. Gently scrub the entire clip, including the hinge area, with a soft sponge or your fingers. Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue. Checkpoint: Avoid abrasive scrubbers or brushes — they can scratch the silicone surface, creating hiding spots for bacteria.
  3. Step 3: Sanitize the silicone teether: Boil the silicone teether piece in water for 3–5 minutes, or steam it in a baby bottle sterilizer. Silicone can withstand high heat without degrading. Let it cool completely before reassembling. Common mistake: Boiling the clip too. The metal spring inside the clip can lose tension or rust. Only boil the teether part.
  4. Step 4: Air dry completely before use: Place both pieces on a clean drying rack or towel. Make sure the clip hinge is open to allow airflow. Silicone dries quickly, but trapped moisture in the clip hinge can lead to mold over time. Checkpoint: Don't use a cloth to dry — lint can stick to silicone. Air drying is the safest method.

Product facts

  • OneC™ Silicone Clip Teether Set - Yellow Taxi: The OneC™ clip and teether set in Yellow Taxi pairs a one-piece silicone clip with a matching silicone teether. The clip anchors to a collar, stroller, or bag so the pacifier and teether stay off the ground. Because the clip keeps the teether off the floor, it stays cleaner between washes. But the clip's metal spring means you need to hand wash it rather than boil or dishwash it, so you preserve its grip.
