Okay, so I got some awesome new toys a couple weeks ago. Now it's time to clean the cage, and I am not sure how exactly to clean the toys with fleece AND plastic... is it safe for the washing machine? Will it clean properly in the dishwasher? Or how exactly should I clean these toys?

I ran a couple things through the clothes washer once....
Baby chains don't have any problems, but the plastic party bracelets did. I had a plastic chain toy, with rexlace, beads, liberty bell, and fleece. Some of the beads came off but I had more rexlace, so no biggie. No damage to the bells though.
Now I run things through the dishwasher, it's so much easier.
Just my experience, your mileage may vary.

Most of my interactive things and The ting tang toys will do better washed by hand or in the dish washer and hung to dry. That's how I wash most all of mine. I put some of my nest pouches and rasta pouches in my washer but they are a front loader. So usually I reccomend to wash in the dishwasher or by hand.

Okay, thanks! I was just worried about the thin plastic... I will set it on the top shelf of the dishwasher... gonna go get them clean now. Lina just walked out of her pouch... and stopped to look around for a few minutes... she couldn't figure out where everything went! (I usually don't leave them in once I take things out)

i have a LOT of fleece and chain toys. I either put them in the jacuzzi if i have a lot at one time and turn the jets on ( after i have run bleach through the jets to clean them of course) LOL!!! i am weird like that but it gets the job done with dishwashing detergent or.... i run them through the dishwasher. I know our washing machine even on delicate cyclle would cause harm

LOL!!! i know i'm a little odd but i can fit soooo many toys in there at one time and just turn the jets on full speed. and the way to wash a jacuzzi is either with bleach or dishwashing detergent nayways so it works out well. If i only have a few i use the dishwasher but yeah LOL!!!!

Ya know......I'm not sure about all of you & your dishwashers, but I just DON'T like the idea of putting glider toys in there. Even on its BEST days, my dishwasher has a "residue" of that caustic detergent in there......and I'm just not sure that a glider should be exposed to that. Call me paranoid, but I'd rather hand-wash some of their toys in Dawn. Then hang them on the shower rod to drip dry. My opinion...

I have a front load washing machine and I place all my glider toys (plastic, fleece, whatever I have) into a 1, 2, 3 large lingere bag with zipper closure, depending on however many toys I have to wash and toss it in with my regular wash and hang everything oustide to dry. Now if it's winter I'll hang the toys in the house to dry while the clothes are in the dryer. I don't unassemble anything but may have to straighten & reassemble very very little. The bra lingere bag works as well especially with plastic toys. Just thought I'd also share. I washed a load of clothes today with a lingere bag of toys, lil blankies, and new fleece that I bought yesterday and remembered I wanted to share my experience with everyone.
