We were given many more great toys for my daughter. We put in the attic and then didn 't realized that we had blocks up there. The well now the toy is covered with ***** of the block. We were just going to throw the toys away but are so nice and because of us don 't have the money to replace them. How can disinfect toys so that they are truly safe for our 14 months. I was thinking the bleach and a spray of water hot. And then let air dry side. Any thoughts.

I think you are right about bleach and water, but I would soak them if possible to be on the safe side.

I’d make sure you have a good ratio of bleach to water, let them air dry in the sunshine. Bat guano can be toxic and can also harbor disease.
Diseases found in guano are respiratory in nature and are an airborne pathogen. PLEASE wear a HEPA mask when you get them down, and if possible wet the area down before you pull them down.
It’s when there is dry dust kicked up that it’s the most serious.
