Sanitising Baby Toys
A great way to keep your little one healthy is to clean and sanitise his toys and pacifiers regularly. Written below are some simple steps to make your baby’s environment as germ-free as possible.
Arrange toys into two or three different sets and alternate their cleaning. Put the playthings that you wish to clean into warm soapy water and let them soak for about 5 minutes. Regular dish soap will do for this task.
Once you have loosened the dirt and grime, scrub the items you are sanitising thoroughly. This is important because harmful bacteria can cling to the surfaces then rinse the items carefully.
Make a disinfecting solution by combining 1/4 cup of household bleach with one gallon of water. The former is considered safe for cleaning children’s play items since chlorine evaporates quickly.
Finally, dip each of the toys in the bleach solution and place it in a drying rack to air dry. Or you can soak them together for a particular period of time before proceeding to the drying process.
