Here is the question - what to do to get rid of the mold that forms inside rubber toys?

I found a genius solution - don't use rubber toys in the bathroom :lol:

Instead, we have ordinary plastic toys in the bath, plus a plastic corral with the same boat: girl:
Russian letters are also foam...

Another brilliant solution is to replace toys with new ones. Washing rubber toys from the inside (and with an unknown result) will result in the same money. Only it's not very environmentaly friendly...

Also an option if you really like rubber toys in the bathroom.

I see two problems with washing

The solution is certainly original, but the toys we have are domestically produced, individually selected, so to speak, it’s a little expensive to change them, given the transport costs.

I threw away all the rubber toys when they turned black and I won’t buy new ones anymore - because, really, you will be tortured to wash them

18.04.2011, 13:44

we threw it away too. replaced with plastic figurines, boats, fishing rods .. toys, of course, are beautiful, but mold is very dangerous. there is no guarantee that the toys, even after washing, are clean.

18.04.2011, 14:01

We also threw everything out. We play with empty shampoo bottles and bells and whistles for blowing soap bubbles.
I had to throw out even the doll, which "you can" bathe.
Those. everything that has a dyurochka - starts mold.

We also play with empty bottles, the coolest toys by the way: shy:
And everything else is platform-cows, horses, all sorts of ponies, boats and Lego sometimes: D that's what the children pick up, and then they play.
I suffered with rubber toys, the mold was poorly washed: isee:

I did the following. First, always get rid of the water inside the toys as much as possible after the bath. Still constantly change toys, that is, some dry, and some for the game. Also, minimize the number of rubber toys. Well, if it did bloom inside the toy, then wash it from the inside with a solution of bleach (with a small hole using a syringe). We had several favorite ducklings with a duck, they had to be washed. I also carefully enlarged the hole with nail scissors and periodically kept it in a solution to sterilize bottles for the mixture.: hb:
Thanks, but where do you get the bleach?
I’m also going to do this now, squeeze out water, etc., plus sort out what is for the game and what is for the bath, but first of all, of course, you need to clean everything .... In principle, on our toys, the mold is clearly visible in the light, so you can immediately see they are clean or not, and I even managed to wash it with a somewhat ordinary brush for drawing with cleaning products, but too many toys were divorced, and therefore I wondered if there was a faster way.

You mix several tablespoons of soda with water, and with this solution you wash the toys - i.e. draw water and pour it out several times.
