To keep your baby healthy you have to ensure that you keep all their playthings clean. Dirty toys can become a breeding ground for mold. Mold can cause serious health problems that can make your baby end up in the hospital. Fortunately, there are ways that you can use to prevent this from happening. Here are the things that you should do to prevent mold from growing on baby toys:

Do Not Keep Toys in Moist Places

Mold thrives in places with lots of moisture. You should never keep any of your baby’s toys in places with a lot of moisture, and make sure that toys that have been drooled on or come in contact with food particles are cleaned and dried immediately. Also, keep all baby toys in clean dry places when they are not in use, this is especially important for bath toys.

Clean Toys Regularly

Cleaning your baby’s toys at least once a week with a mild mixture of bleach and water can prevent the growth of mold. You should also clean the toy storage area with the same solution once a week. If you do find mold on any of your baby’s toys, make sure to thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected toys.
