Why
The bottles are made of polypropylene (PP) or glass, both of which are dishwasher safe. However, the narrow design and small parts (nipples, vent system) may not get fully clean in a dishwasher, and repeated high-heat cycles can degrade plastic over time.
How do you wash Dr. Brown's bottle?
Place bottles and parts on the top rack of the dishwasher, away from heating elements. For best results, hand wash with warm soapy water and a bottle brush, then air dry.
