RaZbuddy Paci/Teether Holder Care: Duck, Pig, and More

Quick answer

Wash your RaZbuddy Duck or Pig holder by hand with mild soap and warm water, then air dry. Avoid boiling or dishwasher use to preserve the silicone and clip.

Step-by-step cleaning routine

1. 1. Rinse immediately after use: Hold the RaZbuddy under warm running water for 10–15 seconds to remove saliva, milk, or food debris. Pay extra attention to the clip and any textured areas. Don't let residue dry on the holder—dried-on bits are harder to remove and may require scrubbing that can scratch the silicone.
2. 2. Wash with mild soap and warm water: Apply a drop of gentle dish soap or baby-safe soap to your fingers or a soft sponge. Gently scrub the entire holder, including the clip and the animal features, for about 20 seconds. Avoid abrasive brushes or scouring pads. Harsh soaps or scrubbing can strip the silicone's surface and create micro-tears where bacteria can hide.
3. 3. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse under warm running water until all soap bubbles are gone. Turn the holder over to ensure no soap remains trapped under the clip or in small crevices like the Duck's bill or Pig's snout. Leftover soap residue can irritate your baby's skin or taste unpleasant, so rinse until the water runs completely clear.
4. 4. Air dry completely: Place the holder on a clean, dry towel or drying rack away from direct sunlight. Let it air dry for several hours or overnight. Do not use a towel to rub it dry, as lint can stick to the silicone. Storing a damp holder can lead to mold or mildew growth inside the clip mechanism. Make sure every part feels dry to the touch before the next use.
5. 5. Sanitize weekly (optional): For an extra deep clean once a week, submerge the holder in a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cool water for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and air dry as usual. Never use bleach, alcohol wipes, or boiling water—these can permanently damage the silicone and void the holder's safety features.
