| Taking Care of Toys |
| |
Germs can find their way onto toys from unwashed hands, spills of body fluids or by children putting their mouths to them. Ideally, you should decontaminate toys before re-use if they are soiled with body fluids or if a child with a transmissible infection has used them. Dettol Antiseptic Liquid is an excellent solution that kills bacteria thus providing effective protection from the germs that cause infection. |

- Ensure that the toys you buy are safe and can be cleaned. Check the manufacturer's instructions.
- Check toys regularly for rough edges and breaks and throw away any damaged toys.
- Dirty hard toys can be washed in hot water and detergent, then thoroughly rinsed and dried. Hard toys that you cannot easily wash should be decontaminated using Dettol Antiseptic Liquid, rinsed thoroughly with clean water and dried.
- Hard toys that are contaminated with body fluids or after use by a child with a transmissible infection should also be cleaned and then disinfected with Dettol Antiseptic Liquid as described above.
- Soft toys (e.g. teddy bears) can usually be laundered in the washing machine. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you can't wash it, throw it away.
- Soft toys that are contaminated with body fluids or have been used by a child with an infection need to be discarded if they cannot be washed at a high enough temperature to kill germs (at least 60°C).
- Remove any spills of body fluids immediately and clean and disinfect any contaminated surfaces or equipment with Dettol Antiseptic Liquid.
- Don't allow pets to share your children's toys or to foul play areas.
- Don't leave soft toys outside overnight.
