How can you safely and effectively surface clean baby toys without ruining them?
Question:My son has toys that crinkle, chime, play cute little tunes, rattle, have all sorts of different kinds of textures, etc. that I really do not want to ruin for him. I was thinking of maybe just wiping them off with a washcloth soaked in a solution of baby wash and warm water, then line dry them. Is that the general idea of what they mean by surface wash only with mild soap and damp sponge and lay out to dry? Any better ideas on how to clean these things? Just stick to it? What do I do?? I sure would appreciate some advice!! Thank you!
Answers:
I wouldn't try any of the above! What i have been doing is what you mentioned. I either use Dreft (is that spelled right?) or Tide unscented/undyed. I use very little with warm water and then either hang or lay out to dry. Haven't had any problems. Hope this helps.
I would look in to it more but Lysol thats in the spray can should be safe for it
PLAIN SOAP & WATER
you could use baby wipes.cause they have a cleaning prodect in baby wipes
On most toys, especially metal or plastic with hard to reach places, Windex is the easiest. It does the job and evaporates quickly so as to avoid rusting or tarnish.
With more delicate items such as dolls (including some cloth dolls) or porcelain head dolls, use the cleanser (usually facial) like the physicians use that comes in a little packet - it will be an alohol wipe -- you can gently wipe with Witch Hazel - a great old cleanser still around, but much neglected these days, will not damage anything.
If your not wanting to put in washer. (Fabrics) You can vacuum first then clean with disinfectant wipe(Clorox Wipe). When dried rinse with just wet cloth.
