Is there a way to clean out rubber ducky bath toys? My daughter has quite a collection of duckies that are kinda dirty inside and I know I could just buy new ones, but some of them are special because of who gave them to her and such. So is there any way to clean their insides? Thanks.
I always used to put bleach and hot water in a bucket and fill & squirt, fill & squirt then soak. Then give them a few more fill/squirts.
Denise is right! I let mine soak overnight though to be on the safe side! Also at work they use odo ban to help clean the toys and stuff.
I agree that bleach and water would work (nothing kills germs like bleach!)but a safer alternative would be vinegar - I am a bit paranoid so vinegar has been my cleaner of choice since my daighter came around. For the outside, mixing vinegar and baking powder makes a nice foaming cleanser.
It's mold... yuck! I would give 'em a toss. You could also try washing them in a mild bleach wash. To prevent it you need to get all the water out and then turn them upside down.
Quack!
We have a ton of duckies too. Here's what I did. I took one and soaked it in a small amount of bleach and water. Then I took it for a test drive in the dishwasher (after i squirted the bleach water out of it). It survived. =) But seeing as how each dishwasher is different, I would take one of your non sentimental ones and try it. Good Luck!
