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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">

That would be quite good for sore gums during teething -------------
