How do you keep your bath toys clean, especially how to get rid of the yucky black mould that builds up inside rubber ducks?

I put bath toys in the dishwasher. I've never found a good way of dealing with yukky ducks apart from chucking them and buying new ones. I tried rinsing them out in a very mild bleach solution but it only kept the yuk at bay for a matter of weeks.

I'll be thrilled if anyones got an answer.

Milton, but chuck the rubber ones when they go black (just done mine!)ELC ducks have no holes for gunk to get in!

I throw away toys that go yucky inside - have also invested in non squirty ducks, but dear MIL bought the DS's squirty Thomas TTE trains for Christmas to replace them

Dishwasher, and any that are stil dirty are thrown

MIlton or the sterilising tablets in the bath - good for foam shapes etc they need a bit of dunking but an overnight soak seems to do the trick ok.
