How to clean toys
Costumes and Puppets Please check with your library. Some prefer tol get them dry cleaned if they are soiled.
|
Battery Operated Toys DO NOT put battery operated toys into water. Wipe with a damp cloth. |
Plastic Toys (not battery operated) All duplo can be washed/rinsed/dried easily. A zipped net bag or colander dipped into washing water and then rinsed is quick and easy. Many toys can be easily cleaned in the top drawer of the dishwasher or with the dishes in the sink. Remember to dry thoroughly
|
Baby / Toddler toys Please clean and disinfect baby toys by adding a good sized amount of white distilled vinegar to warm, soapy water. Rinse with clear water and dry. Toys are always in the mouths of babies and toddlers, so they need to be cleaned well. |
Puzzles & Games Wipe pieces with a damp cloth if needed. |
Wooden Toys Wooden toys don’t like to spend too much time in water. Please wipe and dry them well. Avoid using spray and wipe products as they can damage the finish on the wood. |
Ride on and outdoor toys Please check outdoor toys for no sand or water. If they have had big dirty adventures give them a good wash. It helps keep the mud and mess out of your car as well. |
