When it comes to keeping your baby’s things clean, we’re not here pretending to be hygiene experts. We’re just parents who, like you, were trying to juggle it all — feeds, naps, endless washing — and somewhere in there, keeping track of a dummy that wasn’t covered in fluff, sand, or mystery crumbs.
Buggalugs was born out of one of those “surely there’s an easier way?” moments. I realised there wasn’t a clean, simple, and stylish way to store my baby’s dummy while we were out and about. So, we created one. A beautiful, eco-friendly case that keeps your baby’s dummy hygienic — without adding stress to your already busy day.
The truth is, baby hygiene doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t need to sanitise your house like a hospital — just a few simple habits can go a long way in keeping your little one’s essentials fresh and ready to use.
Here are our simple, parent-tested tips:
1. Have a Safe Home for the Dummy
Loose dummies in the bottom of a handbag or pram? Been there. That’s where Buggalugs comes in. Pop it in its case when your baby’s not using it, and you won’t have to do the “is this clean or dirty?” shuffle.
2. Rinse & Refresh Regularly
A quick rinse under hot water during the day, plus a proper wash in warm soapy water once you’re home, is usually all that’s needed. No need to overthink it — just keep it consistent.
3. Watch for Wear & Tear
Dummies don’t last forever. Keep an eye out for cracks, discolouration, or stickiness — all signs it’s time for a fresh one.
4. Keep Wipes or a Small Cloth Handy
For those “it just rolled under the café table” moments, a quick wipe can be a lifesaver until you get home.
5. Don’t Forget the Rest of Baby’s Gear
Bottles, teething toys, pram handles — a quick weekly clean with warm soapy water or a baby-safe cleaner can help keep everything fresh.
