Sanitizing Toys
On a similar note, something new I'm trying around my house is a product called Clorox Anywhere. At first I was a bit skeptical because it's just bleach and water, right? I can do that myself and for a lot less money... but I've run into a couple of problems with bleach in spray bottles. First, I usually spill bleach on something (usually something I'm wearing) while I'm making the solution. I'm clumsy like that. Second, I make the solution too strong and the bleach ends up corroding something and then the bottle won't spray any more.
So far, this stuff is holding up well and I've sprayed it all over the place. I think that for toys, though, complete immersion is the trick to getting every last germ you can. But for surfaces, I'd prefer this to making my own. The cost is more but maybe not if I keep having to buy new spray bottles, no?

We just made our house chemical-free by tossing all the highly toxic chemicals used everyday for laundry, cleaning and dishes. We switched using a combination of Melaleuca products as well as Method (Target). I am thrilled with the result! We have a disinfectant that is chemical free, environmentally friendly, non-staining and is licesed for hospital use. So it kills 99.9% of germs including staf and strep. The cleaners are all fabulous and get out tough stains on everything from fabric and carpet to tile and stainless steele
I’m really surprised that Stephanie Brown suggested using Clorox Anywhere to sanitize toys….children put toys in their mouths and clorox is toxic. For someone who gives out this information on the internet, this is just unacceptable to me that she would suggest this. Hasn’t she heard of all natural products that won’t harm your children or anyone for that matter???
LOVE the Clorox Anywhere spray! I don’t have to do a ton of disinfection on my son’s toys, but when I do, it’s great in a pinch. I keep a litte spray bottle of it in his diaper bag for when he feels the need to throw his toys on the floor at a public place.
Oh, and Rose, some (not all) of those natural cleaners you speak of don’t harm anyone… including the bacteria.
