Chemical way: hot water and Clorox, mix it in a bucket and put all the toys( which u can) in there and after few minutes take it out and rinse it well with hot water…

DO IT AFTER KIDS ARE GONE TO SLEEP AND LAY IT ON A COUNTER TO AIR DRY,
SO THEY DON’T GET CONTACT WITH IT AND TOYS ARE STILL SAFE TO PLAY WITH IN THE MORNING..

I DO THAT EVERY NIGHT

OR JUST SPRAY LYSOL TO ALL OR OTHERS TOYS WHICH U CAN NOT PUT IN WATER… OR IF U R TOO TIRED ANY NIGHT..

GOOD LUCK

I do the clorox thing but another thing that I do is stick toys in laundry bags and then put them into the dishwasher. Gets them really clean, but you have to be careful that you don't put in anything with batteries or that has stickers (they come off).

If they are plastic toys that can get wet then boil a big pot of water and then let the toys sit in there for about 20 minutes – that will sterilize them and kill any germs. Also, the Lysol or Clorox disinfecting wipes are pretty good too. I use those to wipe my doors down and door knobs.

Dial soap or clorox.

Dial Soap would be most likely more gentle and kills 99.9% of germs but you would have to wash everything. O_O

Clorox is good to but a little bit more harsh but it says it;s fine for kids and it kills 99.9% of germs too

Good luck! I hope the kiddies get better.

With bleach, a 1 to 100 ratio of bleach and water rinse with sanitizer afterwards, that is the 'government approved' method, or you can just use Lysol spray. It kills 99.9% or bacteria and pathogens. That is the method I use with my children, one of which who has an immune deficency.

non-chemical? soap and water….

personally we use the lysol wipes on everything!!!!!!

You could perhaps run some things thru the dishwasher, i put some stuffed animals in there so they don’t get ruined, but get a good cleaning
