Can I wash Tobie's toys....

[Krystee]

in the washing machine? Should I just use water or should I also add detergent? TIA!

I always wash Twinkle and Wicket's plush toys in the washing machine I use the same non-bio powder and softener I use on the family washing, and on their bedding. They've always been fine....I'd stick to non-bio in-case of skin allergies. xxx xxx

I put the toys they don't play w/ in a laundry bag & wash it in the washing machine. I let them air dry & make sure I squeeze the squeakers to get all the water out. After it's dry, I store it for couple of weeks, then when it's time to wash the other toys, I take the clean ones out & it's play time all over again!

I've always washed Harley's toys and bedding in the same laundry detergent that I use on the family's clothing. I've never had any problems.

me too! I don't use downy or anything tho.. who cares if his bears' fur is soft? He is just going to chew it LOL

I never thought that it would hurt to use Tide.. because i have been doing it forever... but prob a good idea to not use tide and something better for doggies

I use arm and hammer detergent on denzels bedding and toys he loves plush toys so its so easy for me to throw all his things in one washer and dry them. He likes when they are fresh out the dryer especially when i put the bedding back on his bed. He runs and lay there for hours. He falls right to sleep. Maybe because of the warmth.

I wash mandies toys and bedding in our regular detergent. The toys I put in a pillow case so they dont get stuck or so the washer doesn't "eat them" like it does socks!!!

I have always washed all of my babies plush toys in the machine, and depending if the squeaker was still in them would depend if they were air dried or machine dried.

That is a great idea!! The furkids have about 4 full toy boxes full of toys. In the past I have always washed them all the same day. I think next time I will rotate them so they will always have atleast one toy box full of clean toys.

I just use the same stuff we wash our clothes in for their toys. Then I stick them in the dryer and they come out looking great every time.
I have never had a squeaker get ruined by washing it and drying it.

ahaha so true! they will sink their teeth in it regardless if its fluffy or hard

am i the only one who thinks laundry detergent with its smelly afterwash scent is not safe for my baby?
call me crazy but i only use vinegar only and wash by hand by beating his toys/bed/blankie with my rolling pin then hang dry his stuff under sunlight.

Winston's toys and bedding goes right in the washer and dryer...and comes out fresh and clean...for awhile. I've never had a problem with the squeakers either...they come out squeaking just fine, thank you.

I wash Scooters toys in my washing machine. I use the same Tide that I use for my clothes. I don't go overboard with the soap (actually use a little less than the load calls for). If the toys have squeakers (some do, some don't), I use cold/warm water. I put all of them in the dryer on the lowest setting. With his toys, I do not use bounce sheets. Scooter has never had a problem/reaction.

I use unscented Tide because of my allergies. I don't even buy the scented stuff so maybe it makes a difference depending on what you buy. I am personally not worried because if I am sensitive to detergents and it works for me, I feel fine using it on his stuff. The day I can no longer buy plain Tide we may both be up a creek though.

Thanks for all the tips! I did wash his toys in the machine with my regular detergent and it seemed to work fine but I will probably buy a small bottle of unscented detergent for his toys just to be safe. The pillowcase idea was a great tip! thanks!
