    Bath toys - how often do you clean them?

    DD's bath toys get kind of slimy pretty quickly, and I am so sick of cleaning them. We have a hanging basket, so they don't sit in water, but they're still getting slimy.

    So how often do you clean the bath toys?

    We don't but her's haven't gotten slimy either..... we don't use much bath suds, maybe that helps? And only natural baby stuff like Gaia or Moogoo.....

    Our's hang in a mesh bag so not in water either.

    When I had one child it was a regular thing I did. When #2 arrived I threw out the ones that held water because they became a PITA. Probably by the time Rose is in the bath she'll be lucky to get and ice cream container to play with LOL!

    I would love to know this as well! The stupid squirt toys have mould on the inside which I can't get out and they all keep getting slimy and mouldy. They are all in a mesh bag out of the water so I don't know why.

    I have in the past soaked them in a bleach solution and then rinse/repeat with clean water and a tooth brush to make sure the bleach was all gone. Getting very close to throwing them all out and buying something else (except DD loves them)

    Not as often as i should, although they aren't as bad as the older kids toys used to be. I am guessing it has a bit to do with what products you use in the bath. Vinegar is good, to clean them.
