Is Pacifier dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Pacifiers are conditionally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is often recommended.
Why
Most silicone pacifiers can withstand high dishwasher temperatures, but repeated cycles may degrade the material over time. Some pacifiers have small parts or complex shapes where water can get trapped, and the heat may affect the nipple's flexibility or any printed designs.
How to wash it
For best longevity, wash pacifiers by hand in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. If using a dishwasher, place them on the top rack in a mesh bag and avoid high heat drying cycles.
