I was wondering what products you use to disinfect the fluffy toys (or mixed media educational toys) that your kid(s) use. I have taken my son to some classes with other children present and noticed that some of the kids will put the toys in their mouths and suck on them -- I am sure mine will as well soon, and am wondering what kind of wipes I shold carry to disinfect the toys for him as best as I can.
I have clorox wipes, but since he will soon be putting these toys in his mouth, that is probably not a good choice. What do you think about using rubbing alcohol? Any other contact leave-on products that are safe for him to then put the toy in his mouth?
Thanks!

T., in my preschool classroom I use the Clorox all surface disinfetent spray. It is very effective and safe. I recommend this product to the parents of my students and they agree. It comes in a spray bottle (not aeresol) that I'm sure would fit in a diaper bag. I hope this helps and God Bless your little one.
Clorox has a some what new product out that you can spray on any surface and it is safe for babies to tough immediately. I have used it quite a bit. You can get it at Wal-Mart by the other sprays, Lysol, etc. I think it's called Clorox any surface spray. I spray it on all my daughters toys whether they are stuffed or electronic.
I washed them once. Another time I put them in the dryer to get the dust off them.
If you are talking about when you are at a class or someone else's house, I guess use the Clorox Anywhere. Otherwise, I'd do my best not to let my child touch or eat the same toys. For example, at Gymboree they have a "slobber basket" for those toys.
Melalueca has an all natural cleaner..called Tough and Tender.... Available online...or try whole foods for natural, organic stuff. I hand wash my babies toys in Dreft and air dry them on a rack that I keep in the spare b-room tub. I also use Antibacterial wipes and Purell.. Neurotic I suppose but my baby is 8 months and puts her hands and everything in her mouth all day log and is never sick!
good luck.
Clorox Anywhere is a great disinfectant that is safe for children and animals. I go through about 2 bottles a week! However, that is for hard surfaces. For stuffed animals, I put them in dryer on high for half an hour and the heat kills anything that is living on them (including lice).
Hi T.,
Have you ever heard of Melaleuca? All their Cleaning products are safe made with non toxic ingredients! take a look at my website, give me a call and we can talk more!
