Toys should be disinfected to reduce the amount of bacteria and viruses found on their surfaces.
How to clean children's toys
The easiest way to clean toys made of rubber and plastic is to use a dishwasher, so harmful bacteria are destroyed. If there is no such equipment in the house, just hold the toys in hot water and soap or wipe with chlorhexidine.
How to disinfect toys at home
Instead of using the old methods, it is better to treat wooden toys with chlorhexidine, which is sold in any pharmacy, or make an alcohol solution yourself. To do this, mix 96% alcohol and water in proportions of 7: 3.
How often should children's toys be washed
We clean plastic and rubber products at least once a week, especially if the child plays with them daily.
We wash soft toys 2-3 times a month, and if the baby sleeps with this toy, then more often.
