Melbourne cleaning queen reveals the five easiest ways to clean your kid's toys and why you never have to scrub a thing
A 'home hacks guru' has revealed the five easiest ways to deep clean kids' toys, stopping germs in their tracks instantly.
Chantel Mila, who famously goes by Mama Mila online, has two young children but says keeping their toys as clean as her spotless home is easy.
The Melbourne-based mum shared her five favourite tips on TikTok where she has 1.4 million followers.
The first trick helps when it comes to deep cleaning small, hard toys like Lego.
The mum simply sweeps the toys into a laundry bag and places it in the washing machine - before putting on a cold wash.
Her second tip, which also involves the washing machine, is for soft toys.
Mama Mila pops them on a gentle cycle with a cup of bi-carb soda. This deodorises them and softens the toys.
The third tip works a charm if the soft toy can't be missed for as long as it takes to go through the wash and dry cycle.
'You guys know how much I love my Mistral garment steamer, and I use it to steam clean Mila’s stuffed toys to help rid germs and dust mites between deep cleans,' she said.
Her fourth tip is for non-electric toys that are a bit too big or clunky for the first trick.

She simply pops them in the dishwasher on a short cycle which cleans the hard to reach areas.
This is perfect for fiddly toys like cars, she explained.
And finally if the toy just needs a wipe down then she likes to mix half a cup of water with half a cup of cleaning vinegar.
The mum's toy tips were well received.
'These are such good tips! The wash bag for toys is a game changer.' one mum said.
Mama Mila agreed and said it has saved her 'soo much time'.
