If you are a business that serves young families in Lancaster County, chances are, you may have an area in the corner of your waiting room with toys, books, and games for youngsters to play with. Many of our customers ask us how these items should be cleaned. Here is the answer.

The safest approach is to clean toys regularly, disinfect high-touch items frequently, and immediately remove anything dirty, mouthed, or contaminated with bodily fluids. You don’t need to use harsh chemicals on every item every day. The key is to follow a consistent schedule and use the right cleaning method for each material.

Angie’s honest advice when it comes to all of this is not to offer games, toys, or dolls to customers. It’s the only way to ensure your clients and their kids stay safe and don’t get sick.
