How do you clean this toy? I given this toy by a friend and want to give it a thorough clean before giving it to my teething baby.

The only thing I wouldn't do is soak it or get it too wet. You can wipe it with any baby safe cleaner and a damp rag to rinse. Every mom I have given it to LOVES it and has never mentioned a cleaning issue.

Interesting question. We were given some Brio trains that were in long term storage and we are questioning how to clean them. The materials are similar to the Skwish toy. My current research suggests either boiling in water for ten minutes or spraying on a 1/2 water/1/2 distilled vinegar solution. The second sounds like a better choice for the Skwish since it has the rubbery cords that might be damaged by high heat. Good luck. This toy is worth the cleaning effort.

A dab of Johnson's baby shampoo on a damp cloth and then remove the soap with a rinsed wet cloth. Dry thoroughly and you should be okay.

Unfortunately I am not in contact at the moment with my grandbabies. I hear it is a great busy hands toy. I am hoping to get our legal rights filed. She is an AMAZING and SMART little girl! And if your son doesn't take to the toy, you can always return it. Best wishes to you and your family!

No you cannot open this toy to clean it. Each side has little rubber "teeth" that open up to a cavity and which you place the food. You could clean the cavity with one of those brushes made for cleaning glasses with small openings though.

Hello Johnny! Thanks for your question. Every "life like" toy is made of a TPE material that has an odor to it, there is no way around this. The odor does fade once you wash the item with anti bacterial soap a few times and let it air dry! This hole in the middle of this toy goes all the way through making it open ended and easier to clean. I hope this helps! Have a great day. Tiffany at Secure Trusted.

I find it very easy to clean with just a dish rag(since I really only fill it with water or iced coffee or tea). A friend whom I gave one as a gift told me that she often fills with lemonade or orange juice, and if she neglects to clean it promptly, she drops in a denture clean I g tablet, and then rinses it thoroughly. GREAT product!!

Toothbrush! It's a great intro for baby. Mine likes to chew on it, but I onky give it to her during teeth brushing time. It has small silicone bristles that yiu can rub against teeth and gums.

Not sure; our little guy spit up a little on it, and we just cleaned it right away with soap and water. This is such a great toy that it's worth it!

Says .NO..Rinse it off with warm water. It can melt in dishwasher.Just found out, All Baby Einstein toys come from China that is why the price is so low!!I'm now buying "Green Toys". Sells on Amazon.

I have only wiped mine clean with warm water and alcohol (as recommended by B Toys at http://www.mybtoys.com/faq/#how-should-i-clean-and-help-preserve-my-b-toys) You might want to contact them about the dishwasher.

I think it's probably the buildup of that slimy film that will grow if not cleaned a lot. I guess you have to clean it totally and maybe with a toothbrush or something in every nook and cranny. I stopped using mine- have to clean it too often. Good luck! Post if you figure out what it really was!

I rinsed and cleaned my infants Sophie toy last night and left overnight to dry. What I discovered on the counter this am were brownish imprints of the four feet. I am very worried now about giving this to my baby. How do I know if this paint is not toxic??

I've had it a little less than a year, and it's still working great. You can have it for a long time as long as you clean it after each use. I use a toothbrush with a bit of dish washing liquid. Let it dry before putting it away. You're good to go until the next time.

I am sorry I cant help as I havent used yet, given mine to my puppy families in their 'puppy pack' , I would imagine just rinsed out as just a water bowl and shouldnt get that dirty ..........maybe gently scrub the dirty spot carefully with a tooth brush .........I am not sure ..............

Haven't cleaned ours, but I was thinking of taking it outside and cleaning it with a can of air. Hope that helps

Clean with if only a little finger. Also I use it because there is just a good brush. I hope and brush is attached. I am not yet wash because the outside is clean

I haven't needed to clean mine (I use it on the plane), but have you tried baby wipes? If that doesn't do it I'd try a toothbrush and soapy water.

I think it looks cute and soft and good for baby to catch her interest in cleaning teeth. But you need to teach your baby how to clean. You can change a gauze when they can control
