Abstract
A pacifier cleaning and storing apparatus is disclosed to have three main elements: an upper section, a center section and a lower section. Within the upper section is a pump with a water inlet and an adjustable spray nozzle. Within the lower section is an internal support member that is located at the substantial midpoint of the lower section. The apparatus can be opened, and a pacifier can be placed on the internal support member. Clean water is put into the center section, and when a resilient member on the upper sections is squeezed and downward pressure is applied, the water is forced through the inlet into the pump. The water is then sprayed, onto the pacifier. Once the pacifier has been cleaned, it can be removed, or remain within the apparatus.
