How to Clean Simply Silicone Baby Rattles and Teethers

Quick answer

You can safely clean your Simply Silicone Slate Rattle by washing it with warm soapy water or placing it in the top rack of the dishwasher. For deeper sanitizing, boil it for 5 minutes.

How to clean your Simply Silicone Slate Rattle

1. Step 1: Rinse immediately after use: Hold the rattle under warm running water to remove saliva and loose debris. This prevents buildup that can attract bacteria. Don't let drool dry on the silicone—it can leave a sticky residue.
2. Step 2: Wash with mild soap and warm water: Apply a drop of mild dish soap to a soft sponge or your hands. Gently scrub the entire surface, paying attention to any textured areas. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive scrubbers—they can create micro-scratches where bacteria hide.
3. Step 3: Sanitize by boiling or dishwashing: For a deep clean, submerge the rattle in boiling water for 5 minutes, then let it cool. Alternatively, place it on the top rack of the dishwasher (no heated dry cycle). Do not microwave silicone toys—they can overheat and degrade.
4. Step 4: Dry completely before storage: Set the rattle on a clean, lint-free cloth or drying rack. Let it air-dry fully before putting it away to prevent mold or mildew. Silicone attracts lint, so avoid drying on a fuzzy towel.
