If these are NOT intended to be around children, could you use a little bleach with the water to keep the from getting moldy?

i dont think you can add bleach, but i do know that you can add a pinch of salt to the gel beads water and the salt is supposed to help keep them fresh longer. my daughter likes to play with them and i keep them in a giant tub for weeks and weeks and have never had them mold on me, but i do know adding a pinch of salt is supposed to keep them fresher a little longer...

Yes, non toxic. They clean up great! Just use an apron on kids! They can get messy if they use too much water, I recommend parent supervision.

I think putting them in the dishwasher would probably be a bad idea, due to the heat of the water. You might try using a paste of baking soda and water, and scrub them with an old toothbrush. Other than that, soaking in a mild detergent and water overnight could help. I'm afraid bleach would have a bad effect on the plastic, causing deterioration over time. Just my opinion! I haven't tried any of this on this item in particular.

It isn't a good idea. You should only use water or the filters will get clogged up.

I would say no. I think all you can do is sponge off the surface as best you can. You don't want the stuff inside to get wet.

I do. Not sure if they would get moldy if you didn't. I put mine in a smaller container for easier handling and refrigerate the container as well as the smaller one.

I would use a gentle dish soap or maybe a spray household cleaner if they're really grimy. Just don't let any liquid run down inside!

I have not used them with a bleach solution. Can't see why they would not be ok....nothing in the description suggested NOT using them with bleach.

I put a liner behind it just in case.... nothing but bleach is mold proof. &gt;.&lt; The fabric is porous so I doubt it.

Yeah shouldn't be an issue. My daughter has played with hers in the tub a couple times. As long as you don't leave them submerged in the water for long periods of time, should be ok.

The water comes from the valve not the tank. So I don't think the bleach will be a problem.

I don't throw no you would put them in water. They are made of wood so too much water would warp them.

Hard question. I have some that I enlarged a few months ago, they can still be played with. My main concern would be if they get moldy. Some have started to fall apart but it's probably from the kids playing with them. You can just add some more water if they start to dry out.

We have just used a soft brush to keep them clean. They could be scotch guarded if you think it is necessary. We don't have young children. I hope this helps you

Not a good idea, mine have developed very small tears at the points where they hang, so water could get in and ruin them.

Yes, they are intended for that purpose. Wash them in hot, soapy water after use and, for greater security, you can dip them in a dilute solution of bleach.

Probably because of the pretty colours but the smell should put them off. Just make sure you keep them well out of reach of any small children.
