Mammamia, sounds like I'm not the only one with play equipment under a tree obviously! I have to take my broom out and a big wet soapy cloth before the children arrive in the morning and wipe it all down.

Ashleigh, I use a dollop of bleach in a sink full of water too and then rinse really well. I just can't believe that vinegar can kill bacteria as well as bleach, but I worked at a medical lab for a decade and saw bacteria up close so I'm a germaphobe.

I only wipe down the booster chairs daily but take them apart on Friday and give them a good scrubbing. I also wash all the children's bedding every weekend. All this work is becoming second nature and I don't think about it all any more I suppose. That comes with time and practice.
