yeuch! DH baths the baby and is v concerned about this, you can see it inside the yellow ducks. Don't want to soak them in bleach as I'm concerned about residues getting to the baby.

Any hints on how to stop the yucky stuiff appearing inside any bath toy with a tiny hole in?

cheers netters

I saw a previous thread that said to stick them in the dishwasher? Or soak in Milton fluid.

£2.95 for 1 rubber duck? Are you a millionaire mrs badger

I throw my boys bath toys after so long and always replace - they have great fun chosing replacements. We favour the 3 ducks/fishes/boats or whatever in a net bag for £1. Or the foam letters are always a hit.

Those string bags also go funny after a while - if you feel them, they can be slimey

it was a gift

a gift

and a lot more fun than the farking bath thermometer she wanted to buy...

string bags go in the washing machine

Thanks gang,

I think chucking them is the way forward....

Just unhappy about supporting the chinese regime....

Fancy the foam letters, and my friends has animals in 2 halves that stick to the side, wonder where these came from...

we just stopped having them in the bath - we have loads of bath toys but they can all go in the dishwasher once a week.
