How to Clean and Store Re:line Bath Ducks for Long-Lasting Fun

Quick answer

Rinse your Re:line Bath Ducks after each bath, squeeze out trapped water, and let them air dry completely before storing in a dry, ventilated bin. A weekly deep clean with mild soap prevents mold and keeps the sugarcane plastic bright. Never store wet ducks in a sealed container.

Step-by-step care routine

1. Rinse immediately after use: Hold each duck under warm running water and gently squeeze the body to flush out any bathwater trapped inside. Repeat until the water runs clear. This prevents soap residue and bacteria from sitting inside the toy. Common mistake: Skipping the squeeze. If you only rinse the outside, trapped water stays inside and breeds mold.
2. Air dry completely: Place the ducks upside down on a clean, dry towel or a mesh drying rack in a well-ventilated area. Let them dry for at least 2–3 hours, or until no moisture remains inside when you squeeze them. Checkpoint: Give each duck a gentle squeeze before storing. If you feel or hear water, let them dry longer.
3. Deep clean weekly with mild soap: Once a week, soak the ducks in a bowl of warm water mixed with a drop of mild dish soap. Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the surface, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid bleach or harsh cleaners, which can degrade the sugarcane plastic over time. Common mistake: Using abrasive scrubbers. They can scratch the soft matte finish, creating rough spots where grime collects.
4. Store in a dry, ventilated bin: Choose a storage bin with drainage holes or leave the lid slightly open. Place the ducks inside only after they are fully dry. Keep the bin in a dry area away from direct sunlight, which can fade the pastel colors over time. Checkpoint: Never store the ducks in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container while damp. That environment encourages mold growth even if the toys seem dry.
