[kids-lib] Toy Disinfectant

[Martín Blasco]

As Carrie mentioned, vinegar and spray. It is the safest way. Using other kind of cleaners –commercial ones- is not safe (they may be toxic or allergenic).

​If a toy is hard plastic, then hot water and antibacterial soap work. I've also made my own spray with 1 part vinegar, 1 part water. I've read that you can put essential oil in it, too, but I haven't.

Good luck!

Hello!
I am seeking some input on how other libraries clean toys.  I am currently using CleanSmart spray.  It is a one and done (no after wiping), but it gets expensive.  Wondering how do you handle such a germ-fest?  Does anyone use a UV Light sanitizer for toys?
Thank you so much for your help and advice!
