* Was the toilet used recently? If the toilet was recently used, the pacifier is likely contaminated and should be discarded.

3. Clean and Disinfect:

* Clean toilet: If the toilet was clean, use a disinfectant wipe or a bleach solution (1:10 bleach to water) to clean the pacifier. Rinse thoroughly with water.

* Dirty toilet: If the toilet was dirty, unfortunately, the pacifier is likely contaminated and should be thrown away.
