What do you store kids bath toys in?

We have a ton of bath toys and I originally had a fish made for bath toys that was made out of netting. It started to smell, so I tossed it. I replaced it with a netted laundry bag - I have only had it a month and now it stinks. I washed it, but it didn't help.

    Use plastic containers. We actually have a large bucket that we use. We've had it for almost a year and it hasn't smelt or gotten moldy yet. Plus the kids can also play with it in the bath.

    I just keep his favourite ones at the time around the bathtub rim, so all the water will just leak back into the tub. The rest of his bath toys stay in his toy bin. I'll dry them out after he gets bored with them.

    Also a lot of his bath toys are measuring cups and stuff like that... So those ones I just wash with my dishes.

    I bought this thing at babies r us, its like a hammock and you stick it on the wall it comes with these sucction plugs, but the material is a stretchy fish net type. and it holds up really good, and the toys get a chance to drip and dry since it has openings in it. I forgot the name of it, but it works really good, and it was only like 7 bucks. Babies R Us has a few variety of bath storing units. I hope my description helped :) but whatever you store the toys in, make sure it has holes for the water to run out and give the toys ventilation so they dry.

    We had a net bag when the kids were little. We lived in warmer, more humid climates than we do now, and I never had trouble with the net bag. I would hook it to an extra shower curtain hook so that air was able to flow around it and it dried more easily. I also bleached the bag and the toys every other week, rinsed them well and let them air dry.

    We once used a netted bag but it also stained and smelled shortly after we bought it.

    I just kept them in a small dish pan (like a bucket). When it was time to clean the tub I would toss in the toys and clean them too along with the pan.

    I would of said netting. I've tried plastic buckets but they get full of water and it starts to smell. Netting is the best tho as long as ur willing to stick it in the washing machine once a week/fortnight

    My mother used to have a sort of plastic bin that she put our bath toys in. It could be a simple clear one or a designed one- whatever you want. If it started stinking she'd pit it in the sink and hand-wash it quick than dry it. Hope I helped :)

    sure i do. My Aunt has a three 365 days previous daughter who takes conventional bathes now yet thats not the factor. the piont is that when my cusin grew to become into little(very) she could be in this little bathtub that grew to become into cinove like an upsidedown arch. She stors all of her daughters toys in there and that works high quality. So in case you have one in all people who ought to artwork. or you ought to tell the youngster to %. her 5 fashionable toys and then placed those interior the basket on the bathtub wall. wish i helped !=)

    We just use a regular bucket sort of thing. We drain the tub, then put the toys inside the bin. It has been working fine.

    try using clorox bleach to clean the toys. the smell will be gone and they will be sanitary. you can get some good bath toy holders at target or walmart that let the water drain
