Toys bring joy, comfort, and stimulation to your pets—but they’re also magnets for slobber, dirt, food particles, and bacteria. Without regular cleaning, these fun favorites can turn into a hidden health risk.

How Often Should You Clean Your Pet’s Toys?
It depends on the material and how often they’re used:

🧸 Plush & Fabric Toys

• Clean every 1–2 weeks

• Wash more often if they’re visibly dirty or used outdoors

• Machine wash on a gentle cycle or hand-wash with pet-safe detergent

🦴 Rubber, Plastic, or Silicone Toys

• Clean weekly

• Drop in warm water with a PetPods cleaning tablet for a chemical-free deep clean

• Rinse thoroughly and dry before giving them back

🎾 Rope Toys

• Clean every 1–2 weeks

• Soak in warm water with a PetPods tablet or microwave when damp for a quick bacteria kill (if safe for the toy)

Why Cleaning Matters:
Dirty toys can harbor bacteria like E. coli and mold spores that may lead to tummy troubles, infections, or bad smells in your home. Plus, regular cleaning helps toys last longer—less waste, more play.
