I have a plastic basket from Munchkin I got at Target in the baby feeding aisle for sippy valves and small plastic things. I've never had a problem with anything melting. I do wash the toothbrushes and sponges. I wash the sponges every few days and they hold up fine. Toothbrushes we just have 2 sets so while one is down stairs getting clean the other set is ready to go.

Now you'll have a head start for your spring cleaning, at least. Glad to hear your fan got cleaned, one way or another! Danelle @Eve: Great job on tackling those cleaning projects!

Apparenly they are hard to get down because my DH just said he would rather wash them himself than take them down. Hey,,LOL..that works for me. : ) I just asked my DH if he could take my ceiling fan blades down for me, so I could wash them in the dishwasher.

We're not talking about electronic or batter operated toys- just plain plastic baby and toddler toys (blocks, little people, etc.). Use caution when trying out a new toy, but mostly you should be fine.

Not a pretty sight. Great ideas here -- so far I've done trash cans, light covers, sponges and the underliners on the cooktop (try and live with a black stove -- shows every drop of anything and dust). I've also done the accessories in the living room in the dishwasher, too (just gotta pick and choose which will be OK, but I have no problem with crystal, glass items, etc. Honestly, if I could, I would put our Maltese in there, but it's hard to get a blow dryer setting. :-) I am *so* trying to envision cooking something in a dishwasher. … Not a pretty sight.
