rubber ducky maintenance

We have several rubber duckies (this isn't just an American term, is
it? Do non-Americans think I'm insane?). They mostly hang out in the
bathtub.

Lately I've noticed they seem to have dark patches on their interiors.
Despising mold as I do, I'm afraid that there's a great colony of
mildew growing inside the ducks, and one day it'll burst out and cover
the entire apartment.

Has anyone else noticed this with their rubber duckies? Any idea what
it is? I could slice one open, I know, but I'd rather not sacrifice a
duck if possible...

I threw ours away and banned them from the bathroom. Too much time cleaning
them for me.

But then how can you sing "Rubber Ducky" while taking a bath?

Um, while giving the baby a bath, I mean, of course...

They probably are growing mold inside of them.

Eeeeeew. Thanks for the cleaning advice -- I'll give it a try.

I haven't noticed this. Our rubby ducky collection has been in both the
washing machine and the dishwasher to decontaminate it from bath poop
incidents. I'm hoping that has sterilized them (and so far, no mold). I
always squeeze them out after they've been in the bath or the kiddie pool.

I am a huge rubber duckie fan... In fact, my entire bathroom (and half of
Alegra's clothes) is decorated with yellow rubber duckies... (My toothbrush
is a rubber duckie design lol)

I bought the "old" style duckies at first, but they started getting mildewey
(is that even a word?) and ended up throwing them out.

However, there is an alternative. The brand (I believe) is Munchkin
(probably other brands too). They have the newer kind of duckies that cannot
mildew or get mold inside because there is no hole... They still squeak,
etc, but they just don't have a hole. :-)

Ok, I know way too much about rubber duckies lol..

It has gotten so bad that I have about a dozen pairs of boxers (undies) that
have rubber duckie designs on them!

Does anyone know of a 12 quack program?
