Cleaning Bath Toys??

i've done the dishwasher, the washing machine with all free and clear. i've also tried the target method brand of anywhere surface cleaner. i soak then in half method/half HOT water....then rinse really good. especially the ones with holes. those tub toys get so nasty. hope that stuff helps. all those suggestions are super!

Soak them in BacOut. It's an all-natural cleaner that you can use to clean just about anything in your home. You can find it at places like Whole Foods.

Run them through the dishwasher on the top rack.

I have 2 boys one os 2 years and the other is 5 months. I clean every thing in bleach water. I put a cap full of bleach and half of a spray bottle full of water and clean there toys or I also use clorox wipes

I'm not sure. Maybe ask your Dr.

I would recommend putting the plastic or rubberized bath toys in a net bag and putting them on the top shelf of the dishwasher- I clean my kitchen sponges that way and it keeps them smelling clean and minimizes the germ factor.

Best of luck! and enjoy those wild boys- I raised two myself and it was quite a ride- they're all grown in their 30's now- having a little girl was a great joy after the two of them kept me running:-)

I have no idea why they make bath toys that collect water? I try to get as much water out as I can then either wash them in the dishwasher, I think I read somewhere that that sanitizes them or I soak them in a bucket with bleach and water. We still throw a lot away though. I try to find ones that don't get water inside them.

Any of the toys that have collected water inside the toy, throw it out. There is just no way to get all the gunk that grows inside them out.

I throw the toys in a bucket with hot water and the oxyclean powder. let them sit for a bit, then rinse well. You can also run them through the dishwasher.

To store the bath toys between use, use a mesh bag that allows them to dry out.

Hey R.~ As far as cleaning the toys go, DO NOT use any bleach at all. This will do more harm than good. Bleach and Lysol are registered pesticides causing many diseases we have today because of the toxins so make sure you stay away from them and don't even have them in your home from the outgassing affects they can cause too. Plus it is not worth the risk of your kids getting into either. I would suggest you buy cleaners that are plant and vegetable based with no chemicals and more along the natural way that would be much safer. I have switched all my shopping habits and now shop from an awesome store that saves me a lot of time and money. Please check out this www.livetotalwellness.com/cindygeoff to learn more about why we need to shop from a different store with the better safer products for our families. I would love to talk with you more in detail about this too so if you want to email me back or request info. from our website we can find a good time to get together. I would refer you to use a disinfectant approved by the EPA to be used in hospitals and daycares that is safe and natural.

I work from home with this company so I can tell you more on how to get it, just let me know :)

A bucket of vinegar and water is good. Squeeze the ones with holes a number of time to make sure it gets on the inside. You can also put them in a net bag and put them in the washer with mild detergetn (hot water). :)

I either put them in the dishwasher or I spray them down with the Clorox anywhere sanitizing spray. Also the rubber ducks and such that get water inside if you put just a little superglue over the hole it prevents water from going in and then you don't have to worry about trying to get all the water out which I think is impossible.
