What cleaning products can i use to clean baby storage containers?

medlugaschWed204461 · March 2012

I am getting our baby boy's closet ready (yah) and have these rubbermaid plastic storage containers that i am going to put clothes in. What kind of cleaning supplies should i use?

I plan to wipe them down with the regular Lysol Wipes and then i was going to spray them down with Lysol Disenfectant Spray (they make a baby room version!).

Thoughts, or other suggestions?

At daycares, they clean toys with a bleach solution and then allow it to air dry. There's directions on Chlorox bottles for the bleach/water ratio for kids toys. I've never even thought about disinfecting a storage bin unless it's been full of dirty stuff and I want to re-use it. I always wash clothes when I pull them out of storage before I use them.

I don't think chemical cleaners and leave-on sprays are necessary. Why not just use soap and water?

This is what I was thinking...wait until the next nice day and take them outside with some Dawn

I think what you have planned is fine, but if you want to go natural you can also use a mix of white vinegar and water. The smell will dissipate when it dries.
