Thank goodness we aren't all completely blind plastic wasters.
Like the comment
"I soak mine every week in a solution of Teatree oil and hot water. I then squeeze the excess and dry them in the sun. This seems to work. A really really really dilute solution of oil of cloves and water would also do the trick"
Even good old trusty Milton is fine for everything else, or bleach if you must.
If you drive a truck & poo in your pool then perhaps throwing out the toys as often as changing your mother in law's pull ups might be a good idea.
Fortunately for us (& probably others) there is a massive supply of bath toys regularly doing the rounds of every op shop so for those who are capable of changing a nappy & brushing their own teeth I can highly recommend giving some a polish & a wash (as above) after drying them out in the sun for a day or two. It's a veritable jungle of great old unloved plastic bath toys out there just waiting to be hunted down & brought back to your own cave for the kids.
