| Washing Toys? I needed to clean all the kids toys so I threw them all in the washing machine along with their beds. I hope they turn out ok... Oh - I didn't throw in the ones that have electronics in it. Just the squeeking ones. I was wondering if anyone else does this.

| I would but they don't have time to get dirty--they are usually destroyed before then

| I do, I wash the squeaky toys all the time. They always turn out fine. The balls get all stiff and icky feeling...those are the ones they play with the most, so I wash them alot.

| Do it all the time, Have never had a problem, and if you have a little one with allergies, this really helps to keep their toys fresh and clean. I throw the beds and blankets and toys in about once a month.

| I just pulled the 1st batch of beds out of the dryer and the twins are going nuts over them! - Yes I said batch... We have about 10 beds for 3 Girls! Why? Our home has no carpeting and no throw rugs so it's beds galore... not to mention I can't help buying one when I see a nice one at a good price. 2 more loads to go!

| I just washed the stuffed toys. They are still in the dryer so I'll let you know in a few more minutes. I would think you can just wash the plastic ones in the sink with dish soap.

| Ya -- that's what I have done in the past. But was wondering if you had found another way. Did you use any special soap when washing your furbabies things in the washing machine.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | We wash toys and bedding at least once a week. Never put them in the dryer. Plastic toys go in the dishwasher and no heat cycle for drying. |

| I wash my girls' toys and bedding once a week (the beds themselves about once a month, since they're covered most of the time with blankies) I don't put their squeaky toys in the dryer, those get hung up, and their nylabones and plastic toys get run through the dishwasher or handwashed

| I just gave away toys the girls have had for almost two years. None were dirty. They have quite a few new toys from Christmas and have never played with them, so they are still bran new. I don't think they like playing with toys any more. They prefer chasing each other all over the place and playing with other dogs. |

| I throw everything in the wash, and like someone else, plastic toys in the dishwasher with air dry. How'd they turn out???

| Yep ... I wash everything of Toto's. I love the Dr. Noy's Toys & Pip Squeaks because they have velcro openings & you can remove the squeakers & voice boxes. They come out of the laundry like new. I also keep all her beds/blankets clean ... she likes them clean!!
