As an expert in the field of child development and toy safety, I have seen many parents struggle with the question of whether or not they can put their beloved wooden toys in the dishwasher. The short answer is no. As much as we love these beautiful, durable, and non-toxic toys, they are not meant to be submerged or soaked in water. Doing so can cause the wood to swell and warp, leading to cracks and damage to the paint or finish.
But don't worry, keeping your wooden toys clean is actually quite simple and can even be a fun activity for your children to participate in. In this article, I will share with you some tips and tricks on how to properly clean wooden toys so that they can last for years to come.
