We keep about 3-5 in the tub at a time. At the end of the bath we squeeze out all the water and put them in the corner storage (wire) basket. Every few months I switch out the toys to a new batch. Over 2 years of this so far and we have not had any mold issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mold-free-bath-toy-suggestions-needed#post-2624724 Wed, 21 Sep 2016 08:50:10 +0000 lamariniere 2624724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loathe bath toys.
