How can you safely and effectively surface clean baby toys without ruining them?

My son has toys that crinkle, chime, play cute little tunes, rattle, have all sorts of different kinds of textures, etc. that I really do not want to ruin for him. I was thinking of maybe just wiping them off with a washcloth soaked in a solution of baby wash and warm water, then line dry them. Is that the general idea of what they mean by surface wash only with mild soap and damp sponge and lay out to dry? Any better ideas on how to clean these things? Just stick to it? What do I do?? I sure would appreciate some advice!! Thank you! Please keep in mind that babies put things in their mouths! Harsh cleaning solvents probably aren’t healthy!!

so we’re due in march but i’m already getting a lot of baby toys from ppl. problem is, yorkie over here thinks the toys are his and he yelps, barks and jumps up to get them. he wont’ leave us alone unless we hide the toys. HELP! but even when we find them, he sniffs them out even in the best hiding spot and then barks for us to get them out. it’s fine with us to hide them now but i wanna get them out once baby comes.

What red wine is relatively affordable and will benefit from a few years' aging?

I am turning 21 this November, and while this means I don’t have a long history with or knowledge of wine consumption and storage, I have greatly enjoyed the few glasses I’ve had with family friends and relatives over the past few years. Because I am not a huge partier, I’d like to commemorate my turning 21 by purchasing a bottle of wine (preferably red) on that day, then save it for a few years to finally open on another birthday. I have no specific plan, I just like the idea of buying a bottle of wine on my 21st and drinking it on some future birthday, as soon as the next year or as late as 50. Being only 20 I obviously don’t have the grandest budget for this, but I was hoping someone would have a few bottles or vintages I should look into–or just a particular type of wine that is always likely to improve with moderate aging. Thanks so much!

How to get the chemical smell out of baby toys?

I just bought my baby a new rattle by Fisher Price. It was inside packaging when I bought it so I didn’t realize until I got it home that it smelled horrible like chemicals. The instructions on it said to wash before use in warm soapy water. Which I did and do with all of her new toys, but it didn’t take the awful smell away, I don’t want her to put it in her mouth that way. How do I get the smell out? I tried soapy water and baking soda. What else should I try?
