Toy safe dishwashers from Bosch and Lego

If you are a germophobic parent, stand in line for a new dishwasher from Bosch.

Teaming with Lego, the building block company, this high end manufacturer has come up with a toy friendly, germ destroying dishwasher. The problem with washing toys in your garden variety dishwasher is just at the point when germs will be killed, the plastic in the toys will melt. The solution to this problem is to use a special cycle with a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Centigrade)…not too hot, not too cold but just right for maintaining plastic and destroying germs. More toy friendly details include a small rack that can hold those tiny toy soldiers or Barbie’s handbag collection.

The MSRP jumps from a thousand to just under two thousand for various models. Or you could just wash the toys in the sink and use the savings to buy even more toys.
