Cleaning Your Waiting Area Toys
How to Clean Waiting Area Toys
Keeping waiting area toys clean is important for both staff and children. The good news is that most high-quality waiting area toys can be cleaned quickly and safely using the right disinfectant wipes.
We recommend using hospital-grade disinfectant wipes, such as those from the PDI line, which are commonly used in medical and professional settings.
What to look for in disinfectant wipes
- Effective against germs and bacteria, Choose wipes that clearly state they are effective against common bacteria and viruses. This information is listed on the packaging and is based on the wipe’s active ingredients.
- Safe for children and staff, Not all disinfectant wipes are created equal. Look for wipes that are labeled safe for use in environments where children are present. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, including any hand-washing recommendations.
- Low-odor and low-residue formulas, Many modern disinfectant wipes are designed to clean effectively without leaving behind harsh chemical fumes or irritating residue. These are ideal for enclosed spaces like waiting rooms and therapy clinics.
- Fast drying, Most disinfectant wipes are designed to air dry quickly. In many cases, surfaces dry within about 90 seconds, allowing toys to be returned to use without long downtime.
- Surface compatibility, Always confirm that the disinfectant wipe you choose is appropriate for the surface you’re cleaning. Some wipes may not be recommended for certain finishes, so checking the label helps prevent surface damage over time.
- Environmentally conscious options, Many disinfectant wipes are now made with biodegradable materials and reduced chemical concentrations, offering strong cleaning performance with a more environmentally friendly profile.
Using the right disinfectant wipes allows you to keep waiting area toys clean, safe, and ready for use, while protecting both children and staff.
