How to keep a wooden block spick and span

Many important reasons are responsible for choosing wooden block toys for children. If you are very conscious about your kid’s safety then wooden blocks can be right choice for you. However, you should not adopt negligence towards cleanliness of your wooden block toys. I have personally observed that most of the children make their blocks dirty with chocolates and dirt. You should know that kids don’t have sense of good or bad. They just want to enjoy playing with building blocks. You should teach your child to keep its blocks clean. If your child adopts carelessness towards cleaning its blocks then you should clean them without any delay. There may be different bacteria and germs sticking on the surface of wooden blocks. Such germs can be very hazardous for the good health of your child.  Therefore, you should be very conscious about the cleanliness of such types of toys.

Many children love to play with blocks in the backyard. A lot of dirt can make a wooden block dirty and unclean. You should forbid your child from playing with wooden blocks on the dirty floor. It is strongly recommended that you clean and disinfect these blocks in order to ensure safety of your child. There is no need to get nervous about the cleaning process of building blocks. You can easily clean a wooden block without any hard work. First you should choose a right cleaning solution to clean the blocks. There is no need to buy a special cleaning solution because any household cleaner or spray can also be used for this purpose. You can also make a perfect cleaning solution on your own. A vinegar solution or a bleach solution is very effective for making your wooden blocks spotless and sterilized. For creating bleach solution, you can take one part of bleach along with 10 parts of water. On the other hand, a vinegar solution requires one part distilled white vinegar and one part water.

It is habit of most of the children that they chew the wooden block. If you use any harmful chemicals for cleaning the wooden blocks then this can be injurious to your child. Therefore, I suggest you to use vinegar solution because it has no harmful effects on your child’s health. You just have to put the vinegar solution into spray bottle and spray it onto the rag. This rag can be used for cleaning the wooden block with great ease. There is no need to spray directly on the blocks.
