    Default Rubber Duck Cleaning Question

    Okay, so dd plays with a bunch of bath toys in the tub. Three of these toys are rubber duckies. How do you stop them from getting moldy inside? We've gone through so many just because they get gross! We squeeze all the water out at the end of each bath, but sooner or later, they get all black and gross inside. Any tips or thoughts?

    That happens to our bath toys as well. I fill an ice cream bucket with bleach water and soak them. It comes right out in no time. Be sure to rinse well. I just do this when I notice they are spotting up again, every couple of months?

    What about running them through the dishwasher every so often?
