Hi- I know this has been spoken of before, but, I am beginning to feel really guilty having toys out for children to play with in our department. I spray them with Lysol constantly and wash them in diluted bleach as much as possible, which is not that often, I admit. Is there anything else anyone is doing? The kids love them and I don't want to take them away. I feel there must be a better solution; but, I am not finding it. Thanks!!
I feel your pain!! (And I also appreciate the reminder to clean / sanitize our toys... completely missed my radar!) We have several Fisher Price toys - house / barn / garage - that are stored on top of the shelves in our kids' room. I tried to put them away, to clean up some of the clutter, but it only took one little girl coming in and asking for them before I had to put them out again! Oh, well! 😉 Helena Hayes, Director Galesburg Charleston Memorial District Library 188 E. Michigan Ave. Galesburg, MI 49053 269-665-7839 (phone) 269-665-7788 (fax)
