I'm coming over from PAIF to ask some experienced mama's a question. It might be a dumb question, I apologize.
I received a teething toy yesterday that is part rubber and part material. See link: https://www.amazon.com/Sassy-Beginning-Bites-Teethers-Developmental/dp/B002L3T9XI
I am wondering how I would go about cleaning it. It says not to immerse in water and just wipe clean with a damp cloth. But I feel it needs to have a better cleaning then that before I give it to LO. It is not a sealed package and therefore who knows how many grimy hands have been all over it.
Is it possible to get it thoroughly cleaned or should I just return it to the store?
Thanks!! ![]()
Re: How do I clean this??
Honestly - return it.
For me, if a toy can't be washed in a washing machine or a dishwasher, I hesitate.
There are ton of great teethers you can get.

You could wipe the rubber part with a Lysol wipe. I am not sure what you could do to the fabric, but I really don't think you need to return it to the store, I am sure your LO will love it!
This!
And it comes out okay? I'm just concerned because it says not to immerse it in water.
I am a big fan of freezer cleaning!
if you can sterilize it, freeze it. I put stuff in a zip lock and leave it for a week
I would totally put that in the top rack of my dishwasher. I wouldn't worry about it, it looks like a great toy.
