Why Is My Silicone Product Cloudy?

Did you know?  Why is my silicone product cloudy?


Silicone is an absorbent material and can absorb the colours and smells of substances it comes in contact with.


Although your silicone products can go in the dishwasher, we recommend hand washing with hot, soapy water.  To sterilise, we recommend boiling in water for 2-3 minutes of using a steam steriliser.


We strongly recommend NOT using any bleach-based agents or sterilising tablets to clean your Haakaa products as it can affect the clarity of your product. Although your products might become cloudy after using detergent to wash them, silicone does not leach and it is still completely safe to use. If you are still concerned, you can sterilise your pump again by boiling in water, just to be safe!

Some mums have said that boiling the pump in water with a touch of white vinegar can help improve the clarity of the pump, so you may wish to give this a go.
