I'd only wash if someone was sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-toys-before-andor-after-a-playdate-at-your-home#post-1065785 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 18:36:38 +0000 PinkElephant 1065785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age...not really. I'll wipe down toys afterward if one of the kids seemed sick, or if a specific toy spent a lot of time in someone's mouth. I was much more obsessive about toy cleaning when LO was younger though. I used to put away soft toys that would be hard to clean (like her Lamaze toys) so they didn't get chewed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-toys-before-andor-after-a-playdate-at-your-home#post-1065778 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 18:32:38 +0000 IcebergMom 1065778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely not worry. If you are even asking this question it likely means you keep your house in half decent shape and there is likely no outbreak of disease on your toys! ;) enjoy your play date! :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-toys-before-andor-after-a-playdate-at-your-home#post-1065774 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 18:31:32 +0000 stargal 1065774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't unless there sorry or in need of a wipe down. Don't hate me cu I'm gross ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-toys-before-andor-after-a-playdate-at-your-home#post-1065770 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 18:28:09 +0000 cranberryapple 1065770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to have a playdate at my place, and while I'm okay with other LOs germs, I'm wondering whether I should clean DS's toys as a courtesy. Do you think that's necessary? What do you do about this? Or does it depend on age? Our LOs are 13 months old-ish, so they still put everything into their mouths! </p>
