depends cos sometimes you may think they are dry but inside they are really gorss. someone said a good way to get rid of dust mites is to freeze them first, then wash them. but i'm not sure on that one.]]> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 17:10:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13296&title=moldy-bath-toys#13296 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13281&title=moldy-bath-toys#13281 Author: Roksana

Ok what about soft toys? I have loads of soft teddies/doggies that I have collected over the years..and they are in a really good condition and were washed twice a year...how can I clean them before giving to bub? Or should I keep them out of reach?]]> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 15:24:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13281&title=moldy-bath-toys#13281 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13278&title=moldy-bath-toys#13278 Author: Maya

Maya's fave bath toy was an empty roll on deoderant bottle, she loved rolling it all over her.

Janola diluted 1 part to 10 parts water is also a good way to sterilise bath toys, or other plastic, non-porous toys. Immerse them in the solution, wipe off, and then hang to dry in a netting bag . Cleaning them with Janola solution made this way is also 100% safe if the kiddies stick the toys in their mouths after they've been cleaned.]]> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 15:13:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13278&title=moldy-bath-toys#13278 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13197&title=moldy-bath-toys#13197 Author: mum2paris

Yep, for ages all paris liked to play with was a shaker i had made out of a pump bottle and some rice. she took it everywhere with her no matter what she was doing around the house. that and she also used to have a box of boxes.. tissue boxes, handi towel rolls cereal boxes etc.. it was good cos she would stack them and when they fell they didn't hurt if they fell on her, they became cars for her dolls, houses, and tunnel slides as she got bigger. i felt sooo mean when i finally stopped replacing the boxes and just threw them all out. what a mean mummy i am. ]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2005 21:39:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13197&title=moldy-bath-toys#13197 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13177&title=moldy-bath-toys#13177 Author: Roksana

jake likes the bath toys we got him, but he LOVES playing with the taps, bath plug, razors, shampoo, soap and anything else that accidentaaly gets left there. My mum asked me what Jake's favourite toy was and I think I can safely say, anything he knows he's not allowed to play with. And he's got an amzing reach now!!! Jake can now climb on the couch and coffee table. ]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2005 13:10:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13161&title=moldy-bath-toys#13161 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13142&title=moldy-bath-toys#13142 Author: mum2paris

lol yep. Paris had a heap of really neat squirting toys she was given, but one by one, no matter what i did they all got gross inside so had to be biffed. her aunty gave her some neat foam type shapes of animals and letters that stick to the wall through and they are really cool and easy to keep clean. she loves them as well. we use them to write messages like "mummy and paris love daddy" and funny stuff.]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2005 11:16:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13142&title=moldy-bath-toys#13142 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13133&title=moldy-bath-toys#13133 Author: lizzle

woohoo, what a score. yep sterilizing solution is a good idea, give them a wipe over with a cloth soaked in it.. don't immerse them cos then they can get water trapped inside and that will go yuck.]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2005 20:43:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13124&title=moldy-bath-toys#13124 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13119&title=moldy-bath-toys#13119 Author: Xander&Harmony

i hsve baby sterilising solution for the bottles and my mate suggested making up some solution and slipping the bath toys in them after the bath. I'm trying that now and seems to be okay......will throw out old rubber ducky!!!

hey speaking of bath toys again, I bought some from ETC from UK. Anyway, got them home to realise that they had given me two seahorses and no dolphin. So contacted them by email, and they sent me an entire new box and some vouchers!!! nice huh!]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2005 18:43:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13118&title=moldy-bath-toys#13118 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13106&title=moldy-bath-toys#13106 Author: Roksana

Hey, it's really humid here and have just discovered Jake's duck has mold through it, on the inside. Now, is this cleanable? Or should it just be biffed. Keep in mind, it was cheap, I bought it - so not a gift, and he likes it, but it isn't THE bath toy.]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2005 12:52:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PID=13054&title=moldy-bath-toys#13054
