While the manufacture of wooden toys is usually very good, there are times when they can be defective and need to be disinfected. If this happens to you, the first thing you need to think about is the kind of disinfectant you use. There are many options and methods of disinfecting wood toys, so you will want to choose the best one.
You should start by talking to your local hardware store or toy shop, if possible. They should be able to help you find a company that offers wooden toys. They may even be able to supply you with some instructions about how to disinfect your toys.
There are several different kinds of disinfectants that can be used for disinfecting wooden toys. Some of them are more effective than others. Some are more harmful than others, and all of them have their own drawbacks. Finding a product that has all of the advantages and none of the disadvantages is probably the most important factor in your decision to choose a disinfectant.
Cardboard comes from cardboard, right? That’s probably true. However, no matter how tough or thick cardboard is, it’s still made from cornstarch. So, will they work for disinfecting wooden toys? Yes, but only if you clean them thoroughly with hot water and soap.
There are a couple of things you can use to clean them, but first, let’s talk about what white vinegar and soap will do. First, you’ll need to soak the toy in a solution of white vinegar and warm water. Then, you’ll simply scrub the toy with a clean damp cloth, gently scrubbing it until the vinegar makes a foamy coating on the surface.
On the other hand, you can also use bleach solution. You can use it with a damp cloth that has been soaked in bleach. Keep in mind that this is not a miracle cleaner; you will need to follow the instructions carefully and you’ll need to do a lot of scrubbing to get the chemical out of the wood. If the wood isn’t completely ruined, you may be able to remove a stain or two.
It’s not so hard to understand why these methods won’t work for wood toys made from real wood. While you might think that bleach and vinegar would work on this type of wood, it’s actually impossible. The chemicals will destroy the fibers and cause the wood to rot.
For those of you who are trying to decide between bleach and disinfection methods, it’s important to understand that bleach doesn’t always do the job. It may remove mildew, but it may not remove mold, which is the most common cause of toys to develop mildew. This is because bleach is actually bacteriostatic – it kills bacteria.
Instead of bleach, you should use a substance called polyurethane, which is a better alternative to bleach and can do a better job of disinfecting wood toys. Some types of polyurethane are gentler on toys than others, so you will have to experiment to find one that’s right for your needs.
For the most part, you’ll need to have some type of preparation, since you’ll need to handle your toys with pink acrylic latex gloves and a stiff bristle brush. Once you’ve mixed the chemicals, put your gloves on and scrub the toy in a circular motion using the brush. Rinse it well, then again with cold water.
You will also need to keep a close eye on your toys while you’re doing this. While you’re disinfecting your toys, you’ll also need to be aware of any small particles that may be present on the surface. Clean the toy in the same manner as before, but do not scrub it as thoroughly as you did before. You should find that most toys will need one treatment and a re-scrub after a few days.
As a reminder, don’t just treat wooden toys that you’ve bought from a shop. There may be some that have either outdated or incorrect cleaning instructions and/or disinfectantibacterial products, so you should try to disinfect wooden toys that come from manufacturers that you know are generally reliable. A simple recommendation from an old friend or trusted colleague can go a long way.
