Toys should be checked for any tears or cracking and should be stretched to make sure no cracks appear. If they do, throw it out. If the rubber has become sticky or patches of brown appear then it should also be thrown out.
After being played with bath toys should be dried well and then taken out of the bathroom and stored in a different room. This because as this is a natural product, if it is left damp and kept in the bathroom where the air is moist and warm then over time the toys can develop mould spots. If mould does grow wash with hot soapy water and a wipe down will get rid of it.
Don’t leave in the direct sunlight. If they are then left in direct sunlight, they will discolour and lose their super cute colours. Direct sunlight can also speed up the ageing process of the rubber so it can become brittle and start to crack.
To clean the toys: A quick wipe with some soapy water and a damp cloth is normally enough. They don’t need to go into a washing machine, or be sterilised as this damages rubber toys.
