Gather all of the toys that need to be cleaned.
Before you start cleaning, it’s important to gather all of the toys that need to be cleaned. This will help you keep track of which toys have been cleaned and which ones still need to be scrubbed.
If you’re not sure which toys need to be cleaned, take a look at any that are covered in dirt or grime. Toys that have been played with outside or in the sand box are likely to be the dirtiest.
Once you’ve gathered all of the dirty toys, it’s time to start cleaning!
Sort the toys by those that can be machine-washed and those that need to be hand-washed.
The first step is to sort the toys by those that can be machine-washed and those that need to be hand-washed. Toss the machine-washable toys in the washing machine and run them through a cycle with hot water and a mild detergent. Be sure to washed stuffed animals separately from other toys to avoid damage.
For the hand-washable toys, fill a sink or basin with warm water and a mild detergent. Gently scrub the toys clean, being careful not to damage any delicate features. Rinse the toys thoroughly in clean water and air dry them before giving them back to your child.
Prep the toys for cleaning by removing any removable parts and giving them a quick once-over.
Prep the toys for cleaning by removing any removable parts and giving them a quick once-over. If there is any dirt or debris on the toys, use a gentle, damp cloth to wipe them down. If the toys are especially grimy, you may need to scrub them with a soft bristled brush.
Once the toys are clean, disinfect them using a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. Always test the solution on an inconspicuous area of the toy first to make sure it does not damage the surface. Soak the toys in the disinfecting solution for 5 minutes, then rinse well with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
Wash the machine-washable toys in the washing machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
It’s important to clean your baby’s toys regularly to remove any dirt, germs, or bacteria that could cause illness. You should wash all machine-washable toys in the washing machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To clean toys that can’t go in the washing machine, such as stuffed animals, you can:
-Soak the toy in a solution of 1 teaspoon of dish soap per 1 quart of warm water for 5 minutes.
-Rinse the toy in clean water.
-Air dry the toy or dry it with a clean towel.
Wash the hand-washable toys in the sink with warm, soapy water.
Wash the hand-washable toys in the sink with warm, soapy water. Rinse with clear water and let air dry. You may need to scrub tough spots with an old toothbrush. Sterilize washable plastic toys monthly by boiling in water for 5 minutes or run through the dishwasher on the hot cycle. Allow to cool and dry completely before giving back to your baby.
Rinse all of the toys thoroughly.
Rinse all of the toys thoroughly. You might be tempted to just throw them in the dishwasher, but even the hottest water cycle might not get rid of all the bacteria.
If the toys are small enough, put them in a mesh bag and run them through the dishwasher. If they’re too big to fit, or if they’re made of materials that shouldn’t go in the dishwasher (like wooden toys), rinse them with hot water and vinegar. Let them air dry completely before giving them back to your child.
Dry the toys completely before putting them away.
It’s inevitable — your baby will drool, spit up, and make messes with their toys. While you may be tempted to just throw the toys in the dishwasher or wipe them down with a wet cloth, there are a few things you need to do to ensure they stay bacteria-free and in good condition.
Here’s how to clean baby’s toys the right way:
1. Rinse off any visible dirt or food with warm water.
2. Use a mild soap or baby-safe cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the toy. Be sure to avoid any harsh chemicals that could damage the toy.
3. Rinse the toy again with warm water to remove any soap residue.
4. Dry the toy completely before putting it away. Toys that are stored wet can develop mold and mildew, so it’s important to make sure they are completely dry before putting them away.
Store the toys in a clean, dry place.
It is important to keep baby’s toys in a clean and dry place, as this will prevent the growth of mold and mildew. Toys that are stored in a humid or damp environment are more likely to develop mold and mildew. If possible, store the toys in a plastic storage bin with a lid to keep them clean and dry.
Repeat the cleaning process regularly.
