|  Cleaning Toys I was wondering if/how you all cleaned your toys.. I know for Franklin's hard toys, I soak them in a bleach/water solution and then rinse them like a million times with water, but what do you guys with plush toys? Can these just be thrown in the wash?

| I run the plush toys through the wash, and then dry them for a few minutes, then let air dry. If some of them don't make it through the cycles, they get tossed out. I can get them pretty cheap on clearance at Target and from PetEdge, and we got like a MILLION from the last GE  so it's ok to retire the ones that fall apart. I run the hard toys & kongs through the dishwasher on a sanitize cycle.

| I wash mine in the washing machine on delicate with unscented mild detergent like Dreft or another infant/sensitive skin detergent. I usually put them inside a delicate items bag or a pillow case so they don't get all pilly. I use Hot water (to kill dust mites) and put on the extra rinse option. Then I hang them until dry and then fluff in the dryer for a few min to make them all soft again. Hope this helps!

| I used the sanitize cycle on toys and bedding items. I have thrown in dryer or just air dryed depending on weather.

| I usually stock up on toys and try not to buy the expensive ones. They never last with Archie. I rarely get the chance to wash them, they usually get chewed up pretty bad within a week.
