When we sold our big house 3 years ago, for some reason I sold all my baby stuff. Now, I have a 4 month old grandson and another one due at Christmas.
I've been buying things at garage sales to keep here, since my grand kids are here so much.
They are in beautiful condition, but I still have to clean them!
I used to use bleach on everything, but now that I've thrown out all my harsh chemicals, I only use vinegar, hydrogen peroxide or tea tree oil to sanitize around here.
I'm thinking a vinegar mix with tea tree oil added would be good to clean these things with, but what do you all use for baby items?
Thanks!

I always hung my baby things out in the sun after I washed them. The sun will sanitize them

Forget buns of steel, I'd rather have buns of cinnamon!

The vinegar should be sufficient the the tea tree oil added in will be great too!

yup I would do hot soapy water, then vinegar, that's what I always do. And the sun thing too!
