Is it safe to clean a dummy in your own mouth?
No. Sucking a dropped dummy clean passes bacteria and viruses from your mouth into your baby's. It is also one of the easiest habits to break. Carry a spare dummy, or clean the one you have. SoPure® Dummy Sterilizer Spray is made for that moment away from home. It needs no water and no rinse.
Do I need to sterilise a dummy every time?
Sterilise a dummy before its first use and again after your baby has been ill. Day to day, wash it in hot soapy water and rinse it well. General guidance is to sterilise feeding equipment until around 12 months. SoPure® Dummy Sterilizer Spray is the cleaning step for when you are out, not a replacement for sterilising at home.
How to remove water from inside a dummy?
Squeeze the teat flat between your finger and thumb, and the trapped water pushes back out through the valve. Most dummy teats have one, which is why water gets inside during boiling or steam sterilising. Let it air dry fully afterwards. SoPure® Dummy Sterilizer Spray cleans without soaking, so no water goes in.
Does boiling water clean pacifiers?
Yes. Pour boiling water over a dummy in a clean bowl. Leave it about five minutes and it comes out clean and sterilised. Do not boil dummies in a pot unless the maker says you can, because the shield can warp. Boiling is the method for home. SoPure® Dummy Sterilizer Spray is the one you use in the car park.
What is the fastest way to sterilize a dummy?
None of the real methods is instant. Boiling water needs about five minutes, plus cooling time. A steam steriliser runs for several minutes. A cold-water steriliser needs the full soak stated on the pack. There is no shortcut at home. Away from home, SoPure® Dummy Sterilizer Spray cleans a dropped dummy in seconds.
