Safe Cleaning Methods For: Toys

CLEAN ALL OF YOUR CHILDREN'S TOYS BEFORE THEY PLAY WITH THEM. This is especially important for toys that may be put into mouths.

CLEANING METHOD:

  1. WEAR a dust mask and gloves.
  2. CAREFULLY COLLECT all of the toys. Try not to disturb the dust.
  3. RUN soft toys, such as stuffed animals, in the dryer to remove dust particles. Be sure to clean out your dryer's dust guard.
  4. WASH all plastic and other hard toys with water to remove the dust.
  5. AFTER CLEANING, store toys in sealed toy box or container to lessen further exposure.
