1. Clean your toys and equipment before and after EVERY use!
2. Toys can be cleaned with specialised cleaning products but can easily be safely cleaned with warm water and soap. With battery powered toys, remember to remove them before cleaning and avoid submerging completely in water.
3. Always air dry your toys to avoid cross contamination from towels or cloths etc.
4. It's best to store your toys individually and in a suitable way. Try and avoid storing non-silicone materials together as they can bond together! Suitable storage can range from anything from a make up bag to a medicine box or even a sock! As long as its clean, hygienic and not easily damageable you can use your imagination (a locked box is always a good idea if you have kids around)!
