I know for a fact that this is the way daycare cleans them regularly too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sanitizing-toys-with-bleach#post-2573109 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 08:47:32 +0000 Mrs D 2573109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did the bathtub/bleach after HFM came through the house...otherwise dishwasher or just in the sink for our normal cleaning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sanitizing-toys-with-bleach#post-2573104 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 08:44:59 +0000 FaithFertility 2573104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dishwasher or bath with a little bleach </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sanitizing-toys-with-bleach#post-2573100 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 08:43:20 +0000 jhd 2573100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of our librarians told me they run the duplos through the washing machine in a laundry bag or pillow case! I thought this was creative, but it has to be loud!!</p> <p>I usually just wipe stuff with Lysol wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sanitizing-toys-with-bleach#post-2573062 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 08:26:55 +0000 BSB 2573062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: oh! dishwasher! Good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sanitizing-toys-with-bleach#post-2573060 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 08:26:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2573060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The easiest way for us would be to throw the toys in the tub and fill it up with water and add some bleach. </p> <p>However we rarely clean all the toys at once like that so we either just wash by hand or with a lysol wipe. </p> <p>You also could consider the dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sanitizing-toys-with-bleach#post-2573057 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 08:24:55 +0000 BSB 2573057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is that how you sanitize toys after they are sick or while they are sick?</p> <p>Do you soak it in a little bit of bleach? Or Lysol wipes? </p>
