How do you clean your toys??

How do you disinfect your toys? (Plastic and cloth) I wipe the stuffed animals down with baby wipes and will wash plastic toys with baby dish soap and water, but I feel like the baby wipes don't actually disinfect. What do you ladies use to clean your toys?? 

Re: How do you clean your toys??

  • I'm terrible, I don't clean the toys often. If the dog gets to the stuffed toys I run them through the washer, and for everything else, I just run it under water. Also, we used to run toys through the dishwasher when I worked at a daycare.

  • I use either babyganics toy/high chair spray or Better Life whatever spray (I'm in LOVE with all their cleaning products made the switch completely over since having my babe) and give them a good spray down and wipe them. Neither needs to be rinsed. It makes it nice and easy and for the stuffed animals I run them through the wash inside a pillow case to help keep them fluffy. I usually disinfect the toys once a week or every other week and stuffed animals once a month or if he gets sick on them.

    I just started to use the Better Life floor cleaner now that babes is all over the place and love it! It smells so good! 

    As for toys I'm in the I don't wash much club. When I do wash stuff I wash the teethers in dish soap and soft stuff goes in the washer. 
  •  I put what I can in the clothes washer. I also use the top rack of the dishwasher and put hard plastic toys that can go in there in a little dishwasher basket with a lid.  I have a Sani rinse cycle on my dishwasher and I like to use that, especially when there are sick little ones around. Everything else I use good old soap and hot water. 
  • Plastic/silicone/rubber get soap and water when looking icky. Cloth toys if they can't be thrown in the wash get surface cleaned with soap and water then thrown in the dryer. One time one of her cloth rattles got poop on it so I cleaned that with rubbing alcohol then did the soap-water spot clean dryer thing. Pacifiers get cleaned and boiled a lot.
