how often do you clean toys?

[magicfairy]

I suddenly realised the other day when DS (6 months) was fondly sucking one of his toys in the bath, that I have never cleaned any of his toys!! Is that really bad? I was just wondering how often people actully clean toys and in what?

I have to admit, that it's something I think about sporadically and only do rarely, ie if the dog got hold of a toy or it was dropped outside .

Rarely! Only if they actually look dirty, or with soft toys/baby toys - if dropped outside too.

My DS is 6 months too and I have only washed one of his toys so far. And I regret doing that as it doesn;t look as nice! Seriously though, if your DS hasn't died of dyssentry yet, you're probably doing okay and a bit of dirt is good for their immunne system IMHO.

Do what?

I don't.

The only time I did, was when dd1 poo-ed in the lego box.... took bl**dy ages to clean it all up. And pretty stomach-churning too!

Clean them???

At least once a week - in disinfectant - kids like the taste..................P.S. I'm joking! Never as far as I can remember!

unless something is covered in food or something yuck then no, i never wash ds toys. He is now 2.2!!

Good I do feel a lot better now to know that everyones hygeien habits are as bad as mine and i do firmly believe that a little dirt does them good
