Question for second-time moms?

I have been getting several items from garage sales recently, including a couple of stuffed animals.  Some of these items will not go safely in the washing machine.  This led me to the following question:

Is there a product that is safe for baby to ingest (I'm assuming he'll put his mouth on anything I use the product on) that will sterilize it, by spraying it on the item or by applying it in some other manner other than a washing machine, that is safe for fabric and plastic?  What do you second-time moms use?  What have you found vital to have for instant sterilization?  Any advice regarding making things safe for baby is appreciated!

    For cleaning stuffed animals check out this showe in this episode the host of the shows how to clean stuffed animals. I only got to see part of it but I think she also talked about safe natural things to use everyday

    what about using the dishwasher? Sounds kind of odd but this is what I do for my DH's hats so that they don't get all beat up in the washing machine.

    hmmm, what about boiling water?  it's a great way to sterilize lots of things, but i'm sure it depends on the fabric?

    I know you didn't ask this, but stuffed animals are one thing I won't buy second hand.  Who knows what they've been through (thrown-up on perhaps) or what they carry?  I personally would just skip them, if it were me.

    This exactly.

    Well, the main thing is, I bought a second-hand playmat that has some stuffed animal attachments (that make noise when they are messed with) and I'm trying to figure out how to sterilize those.
