    Default outdoor toys

    How clean are yours? I am sat outside while the little ones are happily playing in the rain and my toys are filthy. Any tips to keep them clean in winter? Also what can I use on my decking to stop it being slippy

    It is really hard to stop outdoor toys going green and slimy - set up a car wash, put the mindees in wellies and waterproofs, give them bucket of warm bubbly water and a sponge and scrubbing brush!

    I am really fortunate that we have a huge covered area where I can store most of the outdoor toys. I think them being out in all weathers means they get dirty. I also cover the ones that I really can't get inside with a tarpaulin. We have one for the Ikea table and chairs that I bought (it's supposed to go over a bench but it fits ok).

    I am waiting for a dry day to powerwash them and dry them so I can store in the summerhouse and get out when needed. Today it is cold and we have horizontal rain!

    Today we will be indoors till it stops
    Happy to be back with the Greenies

    I have seen chicken wire tacked on to wooden paths to stop people slipping, maybe it might work on decking? As for toys mine are just the same! going to have a clean up and try and store them somewhere dry!
