What agent is suitable for cleaning toys after use by

a child with diarrhea?

(or the play area, or change table, or the bathtub)?

10:1 typically water to bleach.

I used to fill the bath tub w/ bleach and warm h2o and soak the toys (plastic) for an hour. GL!;)

My step-mother used to run a daycare and I believe she also used a 10:1 ration of bleach and water. She would lay them all out after the kids left and spray them down and then let them sit for a few hours to dry.
