  How can you clean wooden toys? I know I can clean the plastic ones by soaking them in vinegar and water but I need to sterilize (or try to) the wooden toys that the bunnies have been around. Trying to make the area as clean as I can and no bunny smells so the bunnies have a fresh new space to come home to.

  There’s no real way to clean wood toys. You can wet them and hope they dry out, perhaps putting them on a radiator or something, but it’s kinda hard to totally dry them. The wood soaks up the liquid. The best you can do is either wipe them over with a damp cloth or throw them away and buy new ones.
  
  I’m not entirely sure – sorry! Did anything come up on a google search?

  My grandmother said:
  
  1. Mix vinegar and water.
  2. Take a clean sponge or towel and dampen it with the vinegar/water solution.
  3. Wipe down the wooden toy.
  4. Dry it with a towel and let it sit/dry completely before returning it to use.
  
  I’m not sure how effective it would be at getting out smell, wood soaks that in pretty good, but it might be worth a shot.

  Since this thread is already about wooden toys…I am going to hijack for a quick question
  
  Where do you guys get your wooden toys? Our bun loves to chew on wood and I would like to redirect him to wooden toys instead of the baby gate or baseboards!!
  
  Thanks! Sorry for the hijack!

  The only thing about the vinegar and water method is that the bunny may not like the smell/taste of it afterwards because of the vinegar. Although I clean the trim on my condo that way. I just spray my vinegar and water spray on it and let it soak in…
  
  I would throw them away or just save them until they’ve been bonded for awhile and they probably would’ve care of the smell by then.
