The very first and favorite toy travel with us through all the years of the life of children from birth to old age sometimes even years.During this time, she manages to endure all the hardships of life: spilled jam or ice cream, the nearest puddle, pulling the dusty streets and dirty floors, moving in all apartments and travel - agree, it does not make her more beautiful and safer for the baby. She will not be able to decorate the room with his presence, or to continue to accompany on walks. But this is always possible to manage, and even with a few options:
1. Vacuum toy cleaner or a conventional vacuum cleaner through a variety of baits. First, gather the hair, and then - dust, animal dander better clean up a special roller. When the toy is especially beloved, do it as often as possible, 1-2 times a week to prevent dust had time to settle and the dust mites spawn numerous offspring.
2. Wash by hand. In a basin or bath to beat the scum of the children's soap, shampoo, dishwashing detergent, and then wipe with a sponge brush or wool toys. Rinse the sponge or brush to as often as possible so as not to smudge and wash off the dirt. Dry the toy on the battery, and then gently comb the hair. But you have to be careful because some animals may wool matted or tangled.
3. Dry-cleaning. The toy should be folded in a plastic bag (big toy - a garbage bag). Fall asleep in the same package a couple of spoonfuls of soda or starch. And a good shake, pozhmakat and rubbed toy in the package. After that, get and brushed or vacuumed from the remaining particles of detergent.
4. Laundry in the washing machine. This is convenient because it can be washed several small toys. It is better to start the delicates cycle with an extra rinse, but no spin, and take advantage of children's powder. The temperature should not exceed 30 degrees, and the time for 30-40 minutes. That toys do not get crushed, it is better to put them in a cloth bag (like pillowcases), and after washing, do not wring, and hang the ears or tails. Wait until all the water has drained, and then sent to the battery. Unfortunately, this is not an option for parking toys.
5. Chemical cleaning. Are two types of cleaning: dry and wet. If you have a growing baby, it is best to use a wet (or, as it is called aqua-cleaning). Because when dry cleaned using special tools, a couple who remain in the game and stand for a further 3 months. In wet cleaning dirt removed using a solvent-free, and then thoroughly rinsed toys. Aqua-cleaning is the most environmentally friendly and can harm children's health.
6. Cold. If the toy is not cleaned for a long time, lying in a closet or on a shelf with a 100% probability it can be argued that it is mikropylevye mites. But they can be overcome. Fold the toy in the bag and place in the freezer or on the balcony when severe frosts. At temperatures below 15C mites will die within 2-3 hours, but items not lose its shape. However, this cleaning does not help fight spots.
When choosing a cleaning is necessary to pay attention to the size and fabric toys, but in any case, after such a bath of the day it will again become a soft, clean, will get its normal color, and most importantly get rid of dust mites. And will continue to continue to decorate a room or traveling with the child, without harming his health.
And so I had to resort to cleaning as little as possible, you should still be able to properly store soft toys. Now for children's rooms invented a variety of boxes, nets, bags and more roomy fit a variety of materials: fabric, wood, plastic, rubber, etc. Prices are also impress with their spread from a few tens of rubles and up to several thousand. But it is possible to show imagination and use bins, boxes and bags for clothes, crates of household furniture (converted into a castle or a cave), and even an inflatable children's pool. The main thing to remember is that the capacity of the toy should be larger than the horizontal than vertical, and the baby will be the most convenient to get out of there toys, and do not lower the weight of the upper pomnutsya.
Well, if the golden age of toys is long gone, and they only just remind him or decorate a room, it is best to remove the main part of the "dust collectors", leaving only the most loved and beautiful. The rest is better to send in plastic bags on the balcony or in the garage, the main thing - the place is dry. Of course, pre-toys should be cleaned by any of the methods offered.
However, if you want to share children's joy and not to engage in hoarding, there is always a children's home with a small budget. Its tenants happily take your gift. Believe me, for the sake of a child's smile is worth making.
