bath toys

Ok. I'm hating on bath toys right now.
I try to clean them, they seem to always get that black colored mold/mildew on them. The squirt toys will squirt out black stuff even after I've repeatedly tried to clean.
What do you do with bath toys after bath? What do you clean them with? Do you not use those toys anymore? I'm seriously considering just tossing all of them and keeping just a few cups and foam letters.

Re: bath toys
Huh. We've never had the mold. I always rinse them off and then prop them so they dry out.
Have you tried to clean them with a bleach/water combo?

I have never had a mold issue either. We have a mesh bag that hangs on the back of the shower. We rinse the toys and put them in the bag. They always seem clean, no slime or mold. Maybe it depends on whether you have city water or well water? We have city.

Hmm I have everything that you have for our bath toys but I have well water and they never get moldy either. We never do close the bathroom door so maybe that helps to keep air circulating

Yea! We had to get rid of the squirters for the same reason.
I just got a couple of boats from the dollar bin at Target and this bath soup thing. They have similar sets with numbers/letters at walmart for like $5. I wouldn't spend $13 on this sht, but she likes it.

I actually just got frustrated and tossed them.
They didn't have mold on the outside- its on the inside, probably due to excess water left in there!
We are sticking to non squirting bath toys!
I wonder if it's because of the water? I think we have hard water here, and we do rinse the toys every night/ dry them out. They still get all gooky after a while.

I have pretty hard well water that high in some other minerals and I've never had this problem.
I do religiously squirt the water of the toys after every bath though. Rubes does it for me and it's like a game. I have a mesh bag.
I think what helps us is good air circulation. Our fans are pretty much always on or at least for a good while after bath and I leave the door open all of the time when someone's not in it.
