🌿 Cleaning a teething ring – what is safe?

Cleaning a teething ring with name is similar, but a little easier because it is often made entirely of silicone.

🧻 Can you clean a pacifier clip or teething ring with a baby wipe?

A baby wipe can be handy for quick cleaning on the go. Preferably use an unscented, alcohol-free baby wipe without additives.

Note: many baby wipes contain perfume or lotions that can remain on the product. Because babies put a teething ring or pacifier clip in their mouth, it is better to wipe it again with a slightly damp cloth afterward.

👉 At home, cleaning with water and a cloth is always the safest choice.

🔎 Silicone vs wood – differences in care

The material determines how you should clean it:

Silicone beads:

• Water-resistant
• Easy to clean
• Ideal for teething

Wooden beads:

• Do not get them wet
• Wipe only lightly
• More prone to wear

That is why gentle cleaning is especially important with wooden pacifier clips.

⚠️ What should you never do?

When cleaning a pacifier clip or teething ring:

❌ Do not boil
❌ Do not use a sterilizer
❌ Do not soak in water
❌ Do not use chemical cleaning agents

This can negatively affect safety and lifespan.

👀 Extra tip: check regularly

Besides cleaning, checking is at least as important.

Check regularly:

• Whether the beads are still firmly attached
• Whether there is no damage
• Whether the clip works properly

If in doubt: replace the product.
