Best non-toxic cleaning supplies to use on babies toys, jumper, exersaucer, etc….?
Posted March 5, 2010 – 3:45 pm in: Green Cleaning TipsI know water is usually the best way to go, which is what I normally do, but I have something very sticky on my son’s jumpy, I have am scrubbing as hard as I can, but I need something a little extra to get it off.
Can I use some vinegar and then wash with water?
What are some things you use with your baby?
Are the Green products from Whole Foods just as good, or even the Green products that Clorox has now came out with safer to use?
Thanks for the tips!

I love using the clorox hardsurface on toys, highchairs, potty chairs… it makes me feel like Im really disinfecting all the germs! I often use a metal scrubby for things that are hard to get off… Soap and water should do the trick?
Eucalyptus oil is really good for the wash, just dab it on straight to sticky stuff and blot to get off. Wash straight away though. It’ll even get permanent ink out. It’s great on carpet stains, walls, everything. The vinegar may work – give it a try. You can add vinegar to a rinse cycle anyway to soften up the clothes. Or give good old borax a try.
don’t worry so much about it. Just throw it in the wash w/ some spray and wash and let it go through the laundry.
Yes vinegar is the key. A little bit in water tub will help cleanse and other than a bit of odor, it is completely healthy. Lemon works the same way. Lemon strips, that is why they use it in cleaners.
Now here is a true tip…..when your baby spreads peanut butter all over everything for the very first time. Do not immediately clean it up. Let it dry first then it will wipe right off.
I will not even use the “green” products around my kids. These even though they claim to contain all natural stuff, still have toxicities in their ingredients. The reason that they can claim to be “green” is because the levels of toxicity are not at a deadly level. I just say no to any amounts of chemicals.
You can use a little baking soda when things are really sticky. That is what I use sometimes. It is very cheap and completely safe for babies and pets.
