How do you wash their toys?

I'm with pomtzu. My girls, delicate as they can be LOL, tear up toys rather quickly. I've never washed a toy for either one of them because they tear off the legs or heads or something and the stuffing starts coming out. Periodically I make a trip to Petsmart and get new toys and try to get ones that wont fall apart quickly but .....

LOL!! In all of Myndi's years, I only ever had one toy for her that she couldn't destroy - tho she calls it rough play! I found it in a mail order catalog - it looks like and is the size of a baseball (so she can't get it in her mouth to chew), and it's a hard plastic. It's like a "bump and go" toy and it rolls all over, and when it encounters an object, it takes off in another direction. Myndi loves it!!! - and still barks at it and chases it around and tries to kill it! Even toys that I bought for her and marketed "for the toughest chewers", she could destroy with no problem at all. That's how she got the nickname of "Jaws"! I tried to find that baseball for another PTer, but have never seen one anywhere again - not even in the same catalog that I ordered it from.

I usually wash Prue's toys each season change. I toss them in the washer but do not dry all of them there. I am afraid some will melt. She is SO gentle with her toys that they seldom fall apart or get destroyed. I know I am lucky. She has toys from when I first brought her home! I bet she has 100 toys. Guess who bought 9/10ths of them?

I wouldn't hesitate to use strong detergent if they do not come clean. I would be careful with the dryer..... as mentioned above.

Good luck!
