yuky bath toys...sugestions please!

[mrsmarzipan]

No doubt this will have been asked a hundred times before but here we go again!

Please someone tell me how to get rid of yuky black mould off bath toys. I am tired of throwing out good toys because i just don't feel they are clean enough for baby brother to put in his mouth when in the bath. Have tried putting them in dishwasher but still feel a little slimy.
Thank you in advance!

Never tried but you could try using a toothbrush and hot soapy water, then run them through the dishwasher to 'sterilize'.

Chuck them out. Sorry.

Soda crystals are good for this. I put some on and then scrub with a toothbrush.

If this is on the inside of squeezy toys with only a small hole that you can't really get anything into, you need to bin them.

We've just chucked a load out - tried white vinegar but it did nothing. In the translucent toys you could see the black stuff but the opaque ones were probably just as bad - just not visibly dirty.

Other people have suggested using a plastic tea set, rather than bath toys which have holes in them, then at least they can't fill up with water.

Thanks for the tips! I will go with the majority and save myself time and effort by chucking them out!
Will give a tea set a go though.

DS uses his plastic kettle and cups (aka tea set as suggested). Likes the collander for making good noise and patterns in the water.
