Cleaning second-hand childrens' board books

  Tags:

If you're like me, you love bargains. And what's more fun than finding second-hand childrens' books at garage or rummage sales?!

Here's a quick and easy way to sanitize used childrens' board books!

Using hand-sanitizing wipes, wipes the sides of each page of the board book. Stand book upright with the pages fanned until dry. If you don't have sanitizing wipes, use a little alcohol on a thin rag or paper towel.

And there you have it! Cheap, second-hand childrens' board books that you can feel safe about your children touching... the first time they read them! It sure works for me!! :D

Good One!

I use Milton wipes for this, even for books that are not second hand but have just been around the house for while. Good idea for a WFMW!

Thanks for the tip!

I use sanitizing wipes for everyday cleaning, but never thought of this. I have often passed up toddler books at Goodwill for just that reason.

Awesome!

We purchase lots of board books second hand at our local thrift store....I always wipe them down with sanitizing wipes but never thought
about fanning them out to dry! Thanks for the idea!

Blessings!
