How do you disinfect your baby's teething rings and toys?

She puts everything in her mouth right now, so I am hesitant to clean with bleach.  Any suggestions?

    If they are all plastic I just throw them in the dishwasher or the sterilizer.

    I am interested in replies you will get on other things!

    This and then I use the microwave sterilizer every once in awhile.  Soft toys I wash in the wash machine, if they can be.

    This.  I am also hesitant about bleach.  I have one of those toy sterilizer things but have never used it

    I use bleach & soap water. I just rinse them really good after.

    I have a dumb question - how often do you do this?

    I have used hot soapy water to wash a few of DSs toys after our camping trip, they had visible dirt on them, and maybe a few other times....but it hadn't occurred to me to regularly wash off his toys at home.

    He does put everything in his mouth...and now I'm feeling like a bad mom for not thinking of this.

    unless something touches the floor somewhere in public or is visibly dirty, I just rinse it off.  If anything plastic gets dirty and/or touches a floor or anywhere outside our house, I'll run it through the dishwasher or washing machine.
