I don't start my dc until Oct. but what I do with my kids toys is, anything that can go in water gets thrown into the bathtub with very hot water and vinegar. I leave them there until the water is cold, then wipe them down as I take them out. For stuff toys i put them in pillow cases put a not in the end and throw them in the washer. if it can't go in the washer or tub I wipe it down with hot water and vinegar. I am planning on doing the same thing with the dc toys.
