    That makes sense.
    Pity you can't get the sun to the inside of those squirt toys... even worse when you don't get much sun. Although I can't say we have a shortage of sun atm in Queensland...

    Oh dear me. You've just explained why the lighter toys that you can see inside of worked a lot better than the really thick dark ones.

    I am so silly sometimes!

    But if you have light-ish toys then the sun works even through the plastic.

    Are you a mind reader Nettie?? I was thinking the EXACT same thing this evening while getting DD out of the bath....

    And my question has now been answered, it was what I had done in the past - but i wanted to check that was the best way to do it

    I just had a thought.
    A little while ago I was looking into how to get mold stains out of fabric (my bath mat). A few people suggested that Milton steriliser solutipon or tablets is the only thing that worked for them. I have not tried it yet, but I just thought it might be a good thing to try on bath toys... unlike the sun, that stuff can treat the inside of the opaque toys, too...

    Boiling water and lots of vinegar. Fill the toys, leave them until the water cools down, and then rinse them out.

    Dininfectant might also work too.

    Ones that don't get water inside, like cups for example, I just throw in the dishwasher every now & then.
