How do you clean toys?

[Anonymous]

I used to clean all his toys with soap and hot water every Sunday. And then I realized I was being ridiculous. Now I do it once a month, or after he has been sick.

Plastic teething toys I wash periodically (maybe once every 1 or 2 days) with soap and warm water. Any cloth toys go in the wash with clothes.

I have a harder time with the few cloth teething toys that either have plastic parts or say "do not submerge in water". The surface wiping just doesn't seem to be enough.

Soft things go in the washer. In they don't survive, it wasn't meant to be.

For hard things, I used to do a bleach solution with wipedown, then tried a vinegar solution wipedown after I discovered that method at preschool. Finally discovered Listerine Mouthwash solution, and that is my preferred method.
