Cleaning bath toys?

Nothing to suggest - mine are past the bath toy stage
but I can add this question to an existing thread with several good ideas

My daughter has loads of rubber bath toys - ducks frogs etc. They are the squidgy rubber type with the hole in the bottom. They are really dirty inside - black / gunky stuff comes out if you squidge water out of them.
Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning them ? I threw a loads of them out last year, but that just doesn't fit in with my new OS / MSing ways !
Thanks0 -
Sounds like mould inside:
Fill a bowl with diluted Milton baby bottle sterilising fluid.
Squeeze the duck underwater to suck in the fluid.
Leave overnight.
Fill the bowl with clean hot water.
Squeeze the duck underwater to suck in the fluid to rinse.Debt-free day: 8th May 2015 "Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck," Dalai Llama0 -
