There are many types of bath toys available for children.
We have seen that toys with holes are a good breeding ground for bacteria and fungi to grow, because these types of toys often retain a little bit of water.
In combination with warm air, this creates those black fungi in the toys. This is dirty and not safe.
That's why bath toys without holes are often a better option.
And if you do choose bath toys with holes, choose a good-quality toy that is easy to take apart.
This so that you can expose any places where water can possibly accumulate to dry or be dried. This way you prevent mold growth.

Why bath toys without holes?
If we choose to buy toys for our children, we must also ensure that the toys are safe and stay clean.
Bath toys require extra alertness from us, because here you are dealing with the water aspect. And this is exactly what a fungus needs to grow.
A little bit of water and warm air… voila: a fungus is often born!
And if we know our children well, especially the little ones, then we all know that soft toys often end up in their mouths and are chewed on between baths.
This is very worrying as the fungi hidden in the toys can be a real source of disease and bacteria.
How do you keep bath toys clean?
Of course you should clean all bath toys from time to time and preferably always keep them dry after each turn.
But how well do you get to the spots in the inner part of the toy? Or in the slits, or in a tube and you name it?
That is why we think bath toys without holes are a better alternative.
With this toy you don't have to worry that invisible mold will form as the toy is waterproof.
And everything that is dirty on the outside can be kept clean with ease.
So what you should always pay attention to when choosing bath toys is that it is safe and stays clean for your children.
Bath time is not only a time to bathe your child, but you also want to see your child play happily and freely with peace of mind.
This reassurance is certainly given with the nicest bath toys without holes.
