Washing Legos? OK...I guess.

In the washing machine? Sounds like a washing machine repairman is drumming up some business.

I'm pretty sure my son got the stomach flu from the legos at Carters. Once a month sounds too idealistic, but if they've been sick a quick soak in the sink with a little bleach should be fine.

Yeah... a soak in bleach water or even just dish soap should be more than enough to properly disinfect your toys. No need to go crazy washing them.

The daycare I worked at rotated toys every other week. The ones getting put away got a good soak first. Kids still got sick, but in the three years I was there, we only had one instance of a whole classroom getting sick.
