    I don't think the damp matters. We have live in the driest part of the country and we still get it.
    Yep barbies. They're good swimmers Keeps DS amused for ages.

    Thanks for the thread OP, I was wondering the same thing myself! Every time I find a bath toy with the mould coming out, I just chuck it. I know it's expensive to keep replacing them but I also found putting in containers and cups and such for DS to play with he's happy with just about 'anything' new and different. He does have one blue crab he loves to play with and chew on so he doesn't really miss the others when they go 'mysteriously' missing overnight hehehehehe.

    GL hun! The bath toys 'sans' the holes sound like a great investment

    Thanks for the tip HotI! Will check them out...

    Arcadia, that's what worries me - DD is pretty good but DS still loves gnawing on anything. Bleh!

    Miss.B - I'll try gluing the holes up and will let you know!

    My PIL bought DD a stack of bath toys for her first Christmas, I haven't had the heart to tell them we chucked most of them as they were loaded with mould in a short amount of time. I replaced them with toys that can't fill/hold with water, cups, funnels, solid ducks, watering cans etc and they keep her happy and mould free. But I was fortunate that she was young enough to not even notice the old switcheroo....

    Haven't had a chance to read all the posts, so sorry if I'm repeating anything...

    Every 3 months or so I soak all the bath toys overnight in a bucket of bleach and water. I make sure that the squirty ones suck up all the liquid so that it's in there and kills of the germs overnight. You have to give them a really good rinse afterwards to get rid of all the bleach and it is a PITA, but it works.
