The solution is undoubtedly original, but our toys are of domestic production, individually selected, so to speak, it is expensive to change them taking into account transportation costs.

I did the following. First, always get rid of the water inside your toys as much as possible after a bath. Also, constantly change toys, that is, some dry, and some for play. Also, minimize the number of rubber games. Well, if it did bloom inside the games, then wash it from the inside with a solution of bleach (with a small hole with a syringe). We had a few favorite ducklings with a duck, we had to wash them. I enlarged their hole neatly nail scissors and periodically kept in solution to sterilize the mix bottles.: hb:
Thank you, where can I get the bleach?
I'm also going to do this now, squeeze out water, etc., plus sort out what is for the game and what for the bath, but first, of course, you need to clean everything ... In principle, on our toys, the mold is clearly visible so that you can immediately see they are clean or not, and I even managed to wash it with a somewhat ordinary paintbrush with the help of cleaning agents, but too many toys were divorced so I wondered if there was a faster way.
