Cleaning/sanitizing products

[bright sparks]

Sorry if this sounds silly, but I am hoping to learn how to simplify things. How do you clean toys that can't be submerged in water? I'm thinking mostly of my toys with batteries, and all the fisher price little people that would get water stuck inside of them. And do stuffed animals survive the washing machine?

I use Clorox Anywhere daily sanitizing spray. It is approved for kids and pets and does not need to be rinsed. There are Numerous reports that this is suitable for use where people suffer from asthma and environmental allergies as it doesn't aggravate. I have to buy it from the states and fortunately I live close enough to the border to go collect it from us address but even if I didn't I would just pay for shipping into Canada as it is a necessary business expense and I order it in a box of 9 at a time.

I use it on toys that can not be submerged, play pens, if there is a toileting accident on the carpet following scrubbing with regular hot soap and water I spray after to make sure I kill everything.

I would never use any kind of chemical household cleaner on something that a child would potentially put in there mouth. A lot of them build up regardless of how well you rinse too and it is not good even in very small doses. I use a natural cleaner, really all plant based ingredients, for my regular cleaning which is safe for kids and then the hard surface sanitizer as stated above for my less frequent disinfecting. I also don't disinfect to frequently unless there is illness as it's actually a necessity for the kids to be exposed to germs in order for their immune systems to become strong. Potentially the more often you disinfect the more likely they are to get sick and more often.
