Cleaning And Sanitizing Learning Center Toys

Cleaning goes beyond just cleaning the surface. Final Element Cleaning Service cleans to the microbial level to ensure a clean learning facility and promote an healthy environment for kids learning.

Toys in a learning facility can usually be the biggest culprit in spreading germs. Remember the saying, "Sharing is caring", but when it comes to germs, you want to make sure they are all but eliminated when it comes to hard surface and stuffed toys.

It is important for learning centers to find toys that are easy to clean. Avoid stuffed toys that won’t come clean. If you have any fabric toys, make sure they are reversible and easy to wash. Toys with plastic surfaces are easiest to clean.

How Regularly Should You Wash? – It is recommended to lightly clean and sanitize the toys about once every 2 weeks and to do a more focused hand washing about once a month. However, if a child has a cold or flu for an example, you should disinfect as needed to prevent other kids from the illness. Not all toys specify whether or not they are dishwasher safe, so use your best judgment.

Keep An Eye On Those Germs – If a child is sick in your daycare, take all of the necessary steps ensure it doesn’t spread. Some solutions include a bleach/water mixture (always used after hours, of course) or a type of Lysol to disinfect toys the child has played with.

Deep Freeze Stuffed Animals – Putting the stuffed animal in a plastic bag, then freezing it for 4 – 5 hours once a week will usually kill any living dust mite or allergen on the toy.
