We shower our babies with toys, but from time to time Fido and Fluffy’s toys get dirty and covered in bacteria from being used and rolled on the floor. An easy way to keep your pet’s toys clean and him healthy is to place the toys in a pillowcase, tie a knot at the end, and wash with a small amount of detergent in the washing machine in cool water on a gentle cycle. After washing, squeeze out any excess water and air dry. The detergent and water will get rid of germs without leaving any lingering soap.
