Why
Most NUK pacifiers are made of silicone or latex and can withstand top-rack dishwasher temperatures, but repeated dishwasher cycles may degrade the material faster. The high heat and harsh detergents can cause silicone to become sticky or latex to break down over time.
How do you wash NUK pacifier?
Wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. For sterilization, boil for 5 minutes or use a steam sterilizer.
