• Plastic "produce" from Little Sprouts Farm that often finds itself being tasted by little mouths is washed daily in industrial dishwashers (figure B).

• Items too big for the dishwashers are cleaned and sanitized by the housekeeping staff.

• Towels, blankets, doll clothes and soft toys are washed every night with hot water and nontoxic detergent.

• Balls are put in net bags and washed every other week in the dishwashers (figure C). Then they sit out a week while clean balls are put into play.

• Dolls have baths and shampoos every other week (figure D).

• Rocks on the construction site are cleaned every other week.

• Food in the grocery store is washed and restocked every night.

• Stuffed animals are bathed regularly.

Tip: Install easy-to-reach hooks so your children can hang up their own clothes.
