Cleaning a chewing jewelry is regularly necessary for hygiene. Especially in schools, some teachers find chewing chains unhygienic. But here are some tips to clean them!

Chewing jewelry safe and discreet tool

Chewing jewelry is the perfect sensory tool for school and home. They are discreet, safe and easy to clean. They are made of non-toxic silicone and are BPA, PVC, lead, latex and phthalate free. All the bite chains can be washed and sterilized quickly and easily (literally in a matter of minutes). Chewigem chew chains come in a bag that is resealable so that they can be stored clean on the child’s desk, ready for use!

Spare chew chain

Be sure to keep a bite chain for home and one for school or work. After all, it won’t be the first time you forget the chew chain at home or at school. If for some reason school is hesitant to allow a chew chain, then you could have them read our information. It describes the usefulness of a chewing jewelry, which can help convince them to accept sensory aids.

The school will not refuse your child to wear his or her glasses or hearing aid. When using a tool such as a chewing jewelry in the classroom, this is actually no different. Read more about the importance of a chewing chain here.
