The quick answer
If mould drives you mad, go for toys with no holes, like the silicone Mushie Sealife Bath Play Set. If you love squirters, squeeze them dry after every bath and give them a weekly soak in warm water with a splash of white vinegar. Bin anything with black bits inside.
Bath time is the easiest way to bring the ocean home. The catch? Squirty toys have a nasty habit of going mouldy inside. These are the ones we'd pick, and how to keep them clean.
