How to clean and care for your Qudo

One of the questions we most often get asked is how to sterilise the Qudo. 

You can sterilise it using whatever is your preferred method, including:

• Sterilising liquid
• Microwave sterilisation devises
• Electric sterilising devices
• Place the Qudo in boiling water for five minutes.

When using any heat sterilisation method, ensure the teat and shield are cool before giving to your baby. 

Dishwasher sterilising is not recommended, for the Qudo or other baby products. Dishwashers don’t sterilise their contents as the wash temperature is generally 45 degrees. There are also chemicals in dishwasher tablets/granules and repeated use of dishwashers for baby products, including the Qudo, may lead to deterioration.

It’s also best not to leave the Qudo in direct sunlight, near a source of heat, or in the sterilising solution for longer than recommended. Any of these can weaken the teat. 

Before first use, place the Qudo in boiling water for 5 minutes, allow it to cool, and squeeze out any trapped water from the soother. This is to ensure hygiene.

Clean before every use. And avoid dipping the teat in sweet substances or medication, as this may encourage tooth decay if your child is already teething.

Replace the soother between one and two months of use, for safety and hygiene reasons. Buy your next one here.
