Bath toys!

[peanutter]

we get it in some but not others ... no apparent rhyme or reason!

I remember seeing in another thread that some people soak them in a vinegar or bleach solution, or even boiling them ...

we gave ours a thorough clean when I had the mould come out, and it hasn't come back yet...

But how do you clean inside them P???

I've seen wild republic toys Heather, thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at them...

DD just love love loves the duckies, she lines them all up and goes feral if DS tries to take one... We need a tantrum emoticon

We can't use one of those baggie things, we have textured tiles and the suction cups won't take. But it happens to our little non-slip things that we stick on the bottom of the bath as well - they are going moudly. We take them off the bottom of the bath and have tried sticking them on the side of the bath and also laying them face up so they can air dry... but they are still going mouldy.

Maybe its just like feeb says, 6-12mths and toss em.

I chuck them when they get gross. That being said I've tried to steer DS away from the ones that get mouldy in the first place. More cups and pouring things than squirty ones.

DH just suggested gluing the hole shut if we buy new ones. She loves the duckies, not the fact that they take on water and can be forced to squirt. They aren't designed as squirty ducks. Why do they have holes? The non-squirting ones, like your standard rubber ducky. Why does it have a hole?

Is this what my life is at the moment? Discussing the mould content of my children's toys???

I was chucking them when they got gross too. I tried filling them with a bleach solution and then rinsing ++++ but that was too hard for the bath toys IYKWIM?
Gluing the hole shut is a great idea.

We have dinosaurs, sea creatures, washing powder scoops, plastic spoons, a jug, a couple of medicine eye droppers, a couple of Barbies.....


and yep...but the rest of us are here too.
