ABSTRACT:
Portable apparatus is provided for storing and cleaning pacifiers, including a vessel having a vessel opening for containing cleaning fluid, a pacifier storage and cleaner rack comprising a raised platform having a platform edge and sized to fit within the vessel, the platform having opening for permitting the passage of the cleaning fluid through the platform and alternatively with a through-hole with a diameter sized smaller than the pacifier's base with the through-hole preferably sized at approximately the same diameter as bulb portion, and optional support member connected to the platform adjacent to the platform edge for lifting the platform. The apparatus preferably includes a vessel lid having an outer lid edge, the vessel lid being connected to the support member adjacent to the outer lid edge. The apparatus also preferably includes a lid engaging mechanism for removably securing the lid over the vessel opening. A method is provided for storing and cleaning a pacifier including the steps of placing the pacifier bulb on the platform or alternatively positioning the pacifier bulb into the through-hole on the platform; inserting the platform into the vessel submerging the bulb within the fluid; connecting the lid to cover the vessel opening; and moving the vessel so that fluid flows over the pacifier, lifting the lid and platform away from the vessel and removing the pacifier from the platform.
