How to clean our children's toys

The toys that babies put into their mouths when their teeth are growing must be disinfected and sterilised as far as possible. To clean, in fact, rattles and chimes just wash them with hot water and a neutral detergent or disinfectant, then soak for about 10 minutes and rinse with plenty of water. As an alternative to detergents and degreasers, a good solution can also be water and vinegar or water and sodium bicarbonate in a spray: spray the toys with this lotion, let it work for 15 minutes and then rinse well.
Soft toys and puppets

What about plush toys that cannot be washed?
This type of plush can be washed dry with bicarbonate or salt: it is rubbed and brushed to remove any trace of dust. Or, an excellent remedy could be to place them in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer for about 24 hours: this simple trick will kill all dust mites.
Final advice
