We need to wash all the bath toys after a wee number 2 accident in the bath last night lol What's the best way to go about it? What should I use? I normally use more natural products but I don't want that kind of germ lingering given that the baby still sucks them etc...so should I use Janola or Canestan or something? Also, we have one of those turtles that pops its head up and down in the bath adn it's gone mouldy inside TIA -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| I would also know how to clean bath toys effectively - my DD had these wee boats and they get all scummy...I clean them with an old toothbrush but it's not long before they get yucky again. Is it because they only last so long, or do they just have to be cleaned really regularly? |

I would wash in a janola solution (or similar) and then leave in the sun for a bit if you can find some! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Cool, so do you think just maybe soak them in the bathroom sink with warm water and then a splash of Janola (or I think we have Domestos...is that the same sort of thing?  )?------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I soak and wash Lily's bath toys in janola and then detol (sp?) and then blast them with cold water and thoroughly rinse them ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I also soak mine in a janola solution. I let them soak over night. Then i rinse in warm water. Then i put them on the table outside on a sunny day, i generally leave them there all day lol -------------

I do the same. All the scum in the little nooks and crannies comes out with a good soak ------------- Lindsey

I would probably use dettol(the stuff you can use on grazes etc too), and warm water and give them a scrub first with some soap(sunlight soap probably best!) ------------- |

I'd soak in janola, rinse then leave in the sun to dry. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

with the turtle you could probably just leave to soak in white vinegar and water then leave in the sun all day? -------------

janola sounds good. it sucks how they get all gross inside, especially as little ones like to use the toys to drink from 
I was just thinking, I dont once remember my mum cleaning any of our toys when we were little, how gross is that! |
