Hi, How do you thoroughly clean your bath seat? I recently noticed that our baby's bath seat is growing light reddish mold or bacteria (whatever it is) in the unions of the plastic and I can tell that it is inside the seat where I cannot reach. I have followed the cleaning instructions (rinse daily after each use and use soap on the seat to clean)...but I don't know how to keep the non-reachable parts clean. Any suggestions? I plan to try soaking in the tub with dishwasher tablets, do you have other/better ideas? Should I take the seat apart? Thanks!
Thank you everyone that responded! I put the bath seat in the dishwasher with dish washer soap and a 1/2 cup vinegar. The seat is clean! :o) With all the recommendations I received I will use vinegar alone in the dishwasher in the future. Thanks again!
Bleach, oxiclean, or running it under a really hot shower a few minutes then scrubbing the nooks and crannies - any of these should work.
Pipe cleaners, the kind kids use for art projects work great.
i use to run my thur the dish washer by itsekf once a month hope it helps good luck

Yup ... the red stuff is yucky stuff.
Soak it in vinegar and water. It will detox just as well as bleach and water, but rinses CLEAN and there is no residue. Even with bleach, there is some residue which will then get on baby and into the bath water. Vinegar rinses clean and will disinfect perfectly.
I clean all of my bath toys, seats, sippy cups, etc., with bleach water. The reddish stuff will disappear. Good luck!! :)
Fill your laundry tub with hot water and add oxi clean one scoop to the water stir and soak your bath seat for the time recommended on the oxiclean tub for sanitizing. Do not worry there is no bleach or other harmful chemicals in it. Dish washer tablets will leave a strong soap residue the could irratate your baby's skin.
Hi, I know they say vinegar and water is a great non toxic cleaner, you could try that. But, your little one will be out of the seat before you know it, they grow so fast.......I'm a little weird about germs, especially mold...so I would buy a new one and then make sure it gets cleaned with a vinegar water solution after each bath and dried really well. Maybe you could use the hair dryer to dry it, that way the moisture will be gone and no mold can grow. Good luck!
The reddish spots you're seeing are a form of bacteria. I would recommend soaking the seat in a strong bleach/water solution and just rinse it good before using it next.
