How Do You Use Bleach To Disinfect Toys?
Here’s how to use Clorox or other types of bleach to disinfect toys. Fill a large bucket halfway full with warm water. Pour in a very small amount of bleach. A little bleach goes a long way. This is not a Clorox commercial. Wearing rubber gloves, dip hard, non-porous toys into the water bucket. Do this on a hard surface like linoleum that has no chance of staining. Keep the toys in the bucket for a few minutes and then lift them out. Empty the bucket down the drain and fill it with warm water. Rinse the bleach water off the toys by dipping them again in this bucket. Let the toys dry outside or in your dish rack. Store bleach well out of reach of children. Use appropriate safety measures when disinfecting toys. Sometimes the risks of using bleach around small children outweigh the benefits.
