Naturally Disinfecting Baby Toys

Everyone in the house finally has a clean bill of health. Over the past few weeks we have all been struggling with winter colds. Now, I am not a neat freak by any means, but when it comes to little ones I tend to get super aware of where they can be getting their germs.

When I worked at a daycare many years ago we cleaned all the toys in diluted bleach water. When it comes to Little A, I am not sure I want him mouthing on something that has been soaked in bleach. The past few years I have shied away from commercial cleaners and sought out natural remedies to keep our home clean. 

Vinegar has disinfecting qualities and is a natural oder eliminator. I keep a spray bottle of half water, half vinegar under my sink that I use for cleaning everything. I haven't used any harsh cleaners in over a year and I have never had a problem. 

So, to get those toys clean:

Supplies:

Sink with Hot Water

Vinegar

Tea Tree Oil and Peppermint oil

  Step 1) I fill the sink up with the hottest water I can get and add about 2 cups of vinegar along with a few drops of oil.

Step 2) Place all wood and plastic toys in soak. Make sure they are all covered or you mix it around every 10  minutes or so.

Step 3) Let Soak for at least 30 minutes. 

Step 4) Drain the water and rinse.

Step 5) Air Dry

What about those stuffed animals and fabric toys?

I wash the fabric toys in a separate load with baby detergent. I let air dry then place in a freezer bag and leave in the freezer overnight.

On items that you can't submerge in water I would suggest spraying a cloth with the solution and wiping down. 

Vinegar has been my best friend for a couple of years now. Hopefully, this has been insightful!
