Here's how to use Clorox or other types of bleach to disinfect toys.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Bleach
  • A bucket
  • Warm water
  1. Step 1

    Fill a large bucket halfway full with warm water.

  2. Step 2

    Pour in a very small amount of bleach. A little bleach goes a long way. This is not a Clorox commercial.

  3. Step 3

    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.

  4. Step 4

    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.

  5. Step 5

    Let the toys dry outside or in your dish rack.

  6. Step 6

    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.
