"Clean Your Bathtub Toys" - Does Your Kid's Rubber Ducky Bath Tub Toy Have Mildew in It?

Bathtub toys are half the fun of taking a bath for kids. Every child needs a squeaky rubber ducky toy for their bubble bath. Squeaking and squirting water are good for hours of play, but water on rubbers and plastic breads molds and mildew that you can't see. After months of playing fun, you suddenly notice black flakes in the water. If you haven't figured it out yet, those are pieces of mildew coming from the inside of your child's favorite squeaky bath tub toy. How do you keep your child safe?

Some people just figure it is time to throw the toy away. While others think it hasn't hurt anything yet, so they ignore the black flakes and let their child go on playing with it. There is a solution. A way to keep the tub toys clean and prevent mildew growth inside.

Toys must be allowed to dry completely. Most bacteria will die when it drys out. Placing your tub toys in a bath toy net or other holders that will allow drainage and then the toys will be able to dry.
Cleaning the toys with a solution of bleach and water will help mildew from forming on the outside of the toys.
Toys that are plastic or rubber that can allow water to get in such as a squeaky rubber ducky, need to be cleaned inside also. This can be accomplished by sucking a bleach and water solution inside and then shaking it around. Then squirt the bleach solution out. The toys should be rinsed with regular water afterwards, to make sure the bleach is removed. This could potentially hurt your kids if they were drink it or if it was squirted into their eyes.
If the toys already have black mildew flakes in them, the bleach and water will still work, but it will need to be repeated several times until all the black ceases to squirt out.

This should be done every two to four weeks. A great way to save time is to put water in the bathtub and place a couple of capfuls of bleach in it. Then dump the toys in the water. Be sure to clean the bath toy holder in the bleach solution also.

Bath time should be a fun with lots of bath tub toys. Most parents would cringe at the thought of sitting their toddler in a bath of mildew. It is inevitable that your child will get a mouthful of bath water. So keep these things in mind when cleaning your bathtub and don't forget to clean the bath toys.
