Learn how to clean plastic and disinfect plastic in your toys, home and yard.

Step 1
For those smaller jobs:
Dilute ¹⁄₁₆ cup (or 1 tbsp.) of Pine-Sol® in ½ gallon of warm water in a sink or bowl. - Step 2 Wipe down surfaces with the mixture, using a soft cloth or sponge.

Step 3
For those larger, harder to clean plastic items:
Soak small, harder-to-clean plastic items in the solution for a few minutes. Use an old toothbrush to scrub at any hard-to-reach spots as it soaks. - Step 4 Dry the plastic with a paper towel or cloth. Make sure to reach crevices in smaller items to prevent build-up.
