baby toys

I have been given some soft baby toys from a friend which are in need of a clean. Can you suggest the best way of cleaning they as my little one whats to put them straight in her mouth.

I often pop my littlens toys in a pilow case and pop them in the washing machine and sit them in the airing cupboard to dry out. The pillow case is just in case anything falls off , if it does I wouldnt give it to them for obvious reasons hope that helps

If you have a dishwasher and they are of a plastic kind I would put them through

I always used to wash our soft toys on a regular basis. Even when they are new, they get sucked chewed and yucky after a while. Then, as above-in the airing cupboard.

Always put them in a bag or pillowcase when doing them in the washing machine and tie it off well. If a seam goes the stuffing can make one heck of a mess deep in the innards - I once spent an entire morning stripping and cleaning a machine back in the days when a bearing change only used to take me three quarters of an hour or so.

If they can't go through the washing machine, Kim and Aggy suggest using an ordinary bar of soap, some water and a cloth. Just wring out the cloth well, rub some soap on it, then rub the toy. Repeat with fresh water.

Just chuck them in the wash - I regularly do a wash of toys that have been chewed, cat fluffed etc. I normally put them through the drier too - never had a problem.

I've successfully cleaned soft toys that couldn't go through the washing machine by using a small brush (ie a nail brush) and good old hot water and soap and giving them a good scrub. Rinsed them with water as well then either popped them in the airing cupboard or hung them over the bath to drip-dry.

Soft toys in the washing machine as suggested.
Hard/soft plastic toys... scrub them with an old toothbrush and diluted bleach and RINSE WELL!
