Wooden toys All you need to do is clean the surfaces with a non-toxic cleaner or dish soap diluted with water. Don't immerse your wooden toys or puzzle pieces in water or put them in the washing machine or dishwasher. Wood deforms as it dries after soaking, which means that the pieces won't fit together and the paint will crack. No special cleaning products are needed to clean wooden toys.
The high-quality woods used by Selecta have developed natural antibacterial properties. This means that it is enough to wipe the wood with a slightly damp cloth. Keep in mind that you don't want to use any harsh cleansers on your child's toys that could accidentally end up in their mouths or on their skin. A formula that we love to use on wooden toys consists of a cup of warm water with a lid full of distilled white vinegar.
Shake, spray, dampen with a cloth and let it dry. Or use an organic all-purpose cleaner of your choice. Finally, to avoid any infection, never use cleaning products for wooden furniture or disinfecting wipes. These products would be toxic to your child.
The best way to safely clean and disinfect your wooden toys is to use 100% ecological vinegar, diluted with water. Wooden toys can have a very long lifespan if they are well maintained. As you know, they could end up in your child's mouth. Just remember to wash them frequently and you won't have to worry.
Cleaning wooden toys is easy, but just like cleaning soft toys, they need proper care, as some methods can damage them. Beeswax is also a great safe option for babies, as it will protect wooden toys from drying out, prevent them from being scratched and will keep them looking fantastic. You'll be happy to know that cleaning wooden toys doesn't require harsh chemicals, special products, or equipment. So you can take comfort in the fact that your child's wooden toys are less likely to harbor nasty germs.
With the right care, one day your children will be able to pass on their wooden blocks or toys to throw away to their children.
