Keep your baby's RaZberry Teether Plus clean and safe with this simple care routine. Learn how to wash, sterilize, and dry silicone teethers without damage.

Quick Answer

Clean your RaZberry Teether Plus with warm soapy water after each use, and sterilize it weekly by boiling for 5 minutes or using a steam sterilizer.

Why Daily Cleaning Matters for Silicone Teethers

Babies explore the world with their mouths, so teethers pick up saliva, food residue, and bacteria quickly. The RaZberry Teether Plus is made from non-toxic food-grade silicone, which is non-porous and resists absorbing odors or stains. Still, daily cleaning prevents buildup that could irritate your baby's gums or introduce germs. A quick wash after each use is usually enough, but a deeper weekly sterilizing keeps the teether hygienic for months of teething relief.

What to Avoid When Cleaning Silicone Teethers

Silicone is durable but not indestructible. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers, bleach, or harsh detergents, which can scratch the surface or leave residues. Do not put the RaZberry Teether Plus in the dishwasher on a high-heat cycle unless the manufacturer explicitly says it's safe (the RaZberry Teether Plus is not dishwasher safe). High heat or harsh chemicals can degrade the silicone over time, making it less flexible or causing tiny cracks where bacteria can hide.

Step-by-Step Cleaning and Care Routine

Daily Rinse and Wash: Rinse the teether under warm running water to remove loose debris. Apply a drop of mild dish soap and scrub gently with your fingers or a soft sponge. Pay extra attention to the patented BERRYBUMPs and multi-texture surfaces where food or saliva can cling. Do not use a brush with stiff bristles—it can scratch the silicone.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the teether under clean running water until all soap residue is gone. Soap left on the silicone can taste bitter and may irritate your baby's mouth. If the teether still feels slippery, keep rinsing—residue can attract more dirt.
Weekly Sterilizing (Boiling Method): Place the teether in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Make sure the teether is fully submerged and not touching the bottom of the pot (use a mesh basket or tongs to hold it). Remove with clean tongs and let it air dry on a clean towel. Boiling longer than 5 minutes can damage the silicone. Set a timer.
Air Dry Completely: Place the teether on a clean, dry surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Allow it to air dry completely before storing or giving it to your baby. Trapped moisture inside the teether's bumps can lead to mold or mildew over time. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth to speed up drying, but never use a towel that leaves fibers.
Inspect Before Each Use: Check the teether for any cracks, tears, or discoloration. If the silicone feels sticky, has rough edges, or shows signs of wear, replace it immediately. A damaged teether can break into small pieces and pose a choking hazard. If your baby has started cutting teeth, inspect the teether more often—teeth can wear down silicone faster.
