for anything hard use anti-bacterial wipes. for cloth toys get a bowl of warm soapy water and use a flanell or even a nail brush for marks. thats what we did with all my sisters toys she gave me and they came out all right.

I would hand wash and then dry in the sunlight which naturally kills germs and allergens.

I handwashed all the cloth/fabric type toys with a bucket of water that had some washing powder and the canasten hygiene rinse in it, then rinsed them really well and dried them in the sun.

Admittedly I actually dunked most of them and then squeezed them out, even though they only said hand washed... they all came out okay! I just left them on a windowsill to dry in the summer sun for a few weeks, to make sure they were dry right through. They all smelt lovely and fresh and looked good as new. I rinsed them heaps though to make sure all the cleaning stuff came out.

I stuck any that I could, ie the hard plastic ones, in the dishwasher. Then put the rest through the washing machine if I could or hand sponged. I also used Febreese (sp) on some of them too.
