    Posted: 31 March 2008 at 2:06pm

I know that there was a thread about cleaning toys a while ago, but I cant seem to find it....

I am wondering what to do about cleaning the soft toy attachements on his exe-saucer. He is constantly sucking on them, and although I take them off and wash them in hot water and then dry them in the hot water cupboard, they have ended up smelling a bit like wet dog. Anyone got any suggestions for how to deal with this?

Its this one here....its attached to a plastic stick, so options are limited in terms of washing / drying...

I thought about putting some eucalyptus oil or something in the washing water with it but as he sucks on it all the time not sure that will be safe.

Have you tried baking soda in the water when you clean the toys. It's all natural, antibacterial and it absorbs smells.

If it smells really bad you could make a paste of baking soda and water, leave it on for a while the rinse off.

Agree with the baking soda and water or you could try  white vinergar and water. Both work really well and great for absorbing smells

That would be quite good for sore gums during teething
