Did you know that the beloved yellow rubber ducky from your childhood was probably filled with mold?
Yes, our hearts are broken too.
So, you may have seen on social media, the news, YouTube recently that common bath toys have molds and that mold grows fast. Studies show that mold starts growing inside bath toys within 24-48 in fact. Also, just think of our sweet little babies with their delicate skin in the tub and mouths all over these toys. Disgusting.
The reason this happens is because water gets trapped inside and common toys don’t come apart to easily clean so the water and bacteria get trapped and GROW. Most toys have the smallest hole to squirt water out of so even a long soak in vinegar and hot water won’t destroy the mold/bacteria.
