I run my kids' thru the dishwasher once a week. Before the dishwasher I scrubbed them all down with an old toothbrush, but that was a pain. I've also tried running them thru the washing machine, but if they're not the soft squishy kind it breaks them.

I let them soak in vinegar, then run em through the dishwasher. But if at anypoint I can squeeze one, and nasty water comes out I toss it. Ya just can't clean inside of them, ya know??

I don't have a dishwasher.

What I do is I fill up a bucket with hot water and bleach and soaker the toys in it, once every two weeks. They come out perfectly clean in and out. Then I rinse them well. Squeeze water out of squeaky stuff.

Thank you! I'm going to soak in vinegar and run through dishwasher tomorrow -- if it doesn't get out, I'm going to have to get some bleach. YUCKKKKK! Thanks!
