Bunnicula posted:I was wondering how often to clean my dog's toys. Do you clean them on a schedule or do you just wait for them to get icky? I have a pom, so he's not slobbering all over his stuff, but I do wonder if bacteria will build up in his stuffed toys if I don't clean them every so often. Also, can you use antibacterial soap on rubber toys or can that be harmful? I'm a bit of a germaphobe so I need to know how far I should go with the cleaning. One tip that works for pillows, so I would imagine that it would also for stuffed toys is to throw them in the dryer for 10 minutes on high. Just make sure there's nothing that would melt or be otherwise affected by the heat. For the rubber ones, hot water plus dish soap should be fine. After you wash the stuffed ones, to get them smelling "good" (in the dog sense), stick them in your dirty clothes basket for a day or so. They will keep some of your stink on them, which most dogs seem to like.
