So an example: my old Quaker Lucy had many toys that weren’t destroyed when she passed away two+ yrs ago. Like a seagrass playgym. I thought Willow would probably enjoy this toy so I disinfected it.
First I washed the whole gym in dish detergent. Rinsed well and stripped it of plastic or paper parts. Plastic parts can be bleached if desired. Then I baked the seagrass mat and wooden toy parts from it and dried the plastic parts and shoelaces. Then reattached the plastic parts with shoelaces and beads and reassembled the whole playgym.
A lot of toys can be refurbished with new beads, wooden chewy parts, paper bagels, etc. that’s what I did with Willow’s worn out toys when he came here, so they would look familiar and he would not be afraid of them.
