How to wash soft toys with bells and squeaky parts inside?

[alicia]

I usually just hand wash DDs toys. When she grew out of all the 'baby' toys I gave them a good hand wash, then left them in the sun to dry, they were all fine.

i chuck them in the wash! ive never had anything not make it out the other side alive sometime some of the squeakers need a few extra days to dry the squeaky bit but normally its alllll good!

I put DS's through the machine too, depends on the toy but sometimes in a delicates bag. They all come out ok, I just give them plenty of time to air.

Put them through the machine, in a pillowcase for extra protection and / or on a gentle cycle if you want, they should be fine

Ooh, that's good to know, I've never been game to put them through the washing machine - DD's toys are off for a full day spa tomorrow now i know that

Yeah, i stick things in the washing machine all the time and they have all worked out fine.

It's funny seeing some of DD's toys hanging up to dry by their ears
