How to wash baby toys if "surface wash only"?
I bought some used baby toys, and the directions indicate they are "surface wash only." I don’t want to put the toys in the washing machine or use too harsh of a chemical to clean the toys because the baby will for sure put the toy in her mouth. Will soap and water sanitize the toy enough, and is soap too harsh of a chemical? Any ideas of what to use?
if they are hard plastic toys then you can use a cloth and 1 part bleach to 10 parts water, or 10 drops of tea tree oil to 2 oz of water. if they are stuffed toys that don’t take batteries just wipe of any surface marks and toss them in dryer on high heat for 20 minute to kill anything on them. if they are stuffed toys with batteries then you can use soap and water or water and tea tree oil just remember the soap you use will stay on the fabric so don’t use any thing too harsh, seventh generation or green works cleansers or tea tree oil would be best. once they are clean you can put them outside in the sun to help kill any bacteria on them as well.
