It’s A Giveaway! Win a $100 ToysRUs Gift Card and Scotch-Brite Botanicals Disinfecting Wipes!

Sharing is caring!

Congratulations Rita G!

If you’ve been reading for awhile, you know by now that I’m a wipe-junky. I think they are one of the best cleaning inventions I’ve seen in my lifetime. They make my “jobs” so much easier, are super convenient and they get the job done even better than the alternative!

Just in time for cold and flu season, I was offered to try out 3M Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes by participating in their “Keep Toys Clean Scotch-Brite Botanical Disinfecting Wipes Challenge.” I told them, “you had me at wipes”. 😉

If you have yet to try these, let me familiarize you! 3M Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes kill 99.9% of household germs* and cold & flu viruses leaving surfaces like counters, tables and toys residue-free.  Surprisingly, most disinfecting wipes that are used in homes or schools on any non-porous surface, require rinsing after wiping.  However, the “no-rinse” feature found in the Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes provides a safe and effective way to  clean surfaces and toys alike.

  • Leaves no residue
  • No rinse required
  • Made from botanically pure plant extracts
  • Clean easy, breathe easy

*Kills over 99.9% of household germs: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Enterobacter aerogenes, Influenza A virus, Rhinovirus type 37. Sanitizes hard non-porous non-food contact surfaces of Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacter aerogenes in the presence of light or moderate soil load with a 30-second contact time.

It seems like everyone around us has the flu right now, so we’ve been extra diligent in frequent hand-washing as well as keeping surfaces and toys GERM FREE! 3M Scotch-Brite™ Botanical Disinfecting Wipes make that job a breeze! I’m keeping my family healthier this winter by using them them on everything from remote controls to doorknobs; from bathroom sinks to computers and everything in between!  In fact, we recently purchased Kambell a new Calico Critters house (she collects these) and added it to her “Calico Critters land” which we have set up on top of storage units (shown above). The wipes are great for not only keeping her toys clean, but also for cleaning and disinfecting those countertops. I love that they don’t use harsh chemicals and the smell is pleasant, not overbearing – even a 6 year old can do it! 🙂

    My toy cleaning tip is to have a routine of toy cleaning. If it is part of your cleaning regimine, it will actually get done. Scotch Brite Wipes are a necessity of course!

  23. Kari Holland

    I frequently use bleach to clean bath squirt toys. I also use lots of wipes on all hard surfaces, including the eyes of our dear stuffed bears.

  27. laura boyanton

    I try to clean once a week going through my daughter’s room! I put whatever I can in the dishwasher!

  30. Jamie

    The $100 ToysRUs Gift Card would be great! I spray the kids toys down at night with Lysol and in the morning they are fresh and ready to go and in the past I have used wipes but not this brand. I would be excited to try them as well.

  31. steph

    I love your web page. your sales are 1 week ahead of mine, so it give me plenty of time to get my coupons ready

  32. Wild Orchid

    We use the dishwasher sometimes to clean toys.

    I use wipes as well! In fact I have a bunch of the Scotch Brite wipes from when they had the B1G1 free coupons a while back. I do wipe once every two weeks and here and there whan i have time. The wipes are a life saver I agree!

  35. amber

    my tip is to use dishwasher, and to always wash any toys used after playdates, to get rid of any germs left behind

  37. Eva

    I like to use special microwave cleaning wipes to clean the microwave carbona wipes work best. I also use a lot of viager to clean the windows and all glass in the house it works great. Eva

  42. Mary Jo

    I’ve always thrown in washer or dip and dried in dish rack. Great new ideas for me
    on this blog! thanks!!

  44. Sue

    Wipes and Lyson Spray for a quick clean-up – warm, soapy water at least twice per year. Thanks CK….you are a blessing even to a “veteran ;D” couponer!

  45. Katrina

    I’m soooo terrible at cleaning my own toys at home…just terrible….I was really good with kid #1, I washed them all the time….then when kid #2 arrived, I would just get toys washed for #1 and #2 would drool all over them…then when kid #3 arrived I’m just lucky to get all 3 in the tub for their own baths..i don’t even have time to think about their toys…oh man….wipes are a good idea though…hmmm…I’ll have to pick up some of these Scotch wipes and have the kids clean their toys! Thanks Kroger Krazy – your posts are SUPER helpful to me here in Denver – shopping at King Soopers! 🙂

    :)I LOVE KROGER KRAZY!You have helped me snag lots of deals and save lots of money!Thank You! 🙂
    I wipe down my sons toys using baby wipes(so he can help me) every few days.My daughter cleans her own toys now by washing them in hot soapy water.Bath toys get soaked in a little bleach and hot water.Those wipes sound great…I will have to try them!A Toys R Us giftcard would be amazing….my sweet miracle baby’s birthday is in a couple weeks.:):)

  49. Ronda Kinnett

    I usually soak most toys in a bath of 1 tablespoon of bleach per 1 gallon of water. Soak the pieces in your bleach/water solution for about two minutes. When they are through soaking, rinse them with plain water and let them air dry. Also, using equal parts of white distilled vinegar and water for wooden toys. My biggest battle is allergens with cloth toys. A great solution is tossing them in the washing machine and run it on a gentle cycle. During the rinse cycle, add about 3 teaspoons of vinegar to the load. Allow the objects to air dry or place them in the sun for that fresh-outdoor smell.

  50. Esther

    Best toy cleaning advice is to use the dishwasher as much as possible! Other than that, make the kids clean their own toys!

  52. Ashton

    I use wipes on everything to keep it clean and fresh and in the house! We don’t have any kids yet so I don’t have any cleaning tips for toys.

  54. Nikki S.

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your site! I check it constantly! I don’t want to miss a thing… My cleaning tip is that I periodically wash our toys in the dishwasher with clorox or pinesol.

  56. Christina

    To clean toys and things I use disinfecting wipes. If it’s a mass amount of toys like legos or blocks I soak in bleach for 30 minutes and rinse with water!

  58. christy

    dishwasher is great for cleaning toys, but takes alot of time, so the disinfecting wipes are awesome for the times inbetween the deep cleaning!

  59. Stephanie

    I always let the kids help with cleaning their toys …it makes them feel special …they especially love cleaning with the wipes.

  63. Lyndsey

    Whenever I’m washing the dishes, I just add a few toys to my pile. Since we don’t have a dish washer, it’s just easier for us this way.

  69. Jessica Meyer

    Soak toys with half bleach and half water, gets rid of germs and leaves them freshly scented.

  72. MYRA

    I spray the toys with Lysol several times a week and use wipes all the time.
    Especially during the Flu season.

  75. Cortney

    I love Scotch cleaning wipes…..they are my favorite. I go through quite a bit I am a cleaning freak!!!!

  77. Celeste

    I clean my sons stuffed animals by running them in washing machine and then his plastic ones I clean in the dishwasher. The big ones I use a non toxic antibacterial spray.

  78. Cindy D

    Wipes are the best! You can run small toys through the dishwasher or the washing machine! You can use a laundry bag or the dishwasher container that holds baby bottle tops or pacifiers.

  82. Crystal

    If the toys are hard, run them through the dishwasher. If they are made of fabric and plastic squeaky things, I run them through the washer and dryer. If they are electronic, I use antibacterial wipes.

  94. Brittany

    To clean toys I definitely use disinfecting wipes. It gets in all the small gunky areas that you can’t get to with your finger or a sponge!

  96. Tina

    I try to be very organized so that in itself makes cleaning a breeze. I also try to do at least a little each day instead of everything all in one day.

  98. Danielle Rundio-Walker

    I love your site, it is very helpful! The wipes make a for a wonderful quick clean of countertops, bathroom sinks, and more!

    I use a mixture of water and white vinegar for an all-natural toy cleaner. For bath toys I use water in the tub with a splash of bleach so I can clean the toys and tub all at once! 🙂

  137. Tiffany Kiesel

    I try to clean the toys that are always played with on a weekly basis and then devote my leftover 10 minutes or so to getting others that aren’t played with as much. 🙂
