How Unless Kids Uses ZappBug to Ensure Safe, Sanitized Toys
At ZappBug, we know that cleanliness and safety are top priorities—especially when it comes to children’s toys. That’s why we love seeing businesses like Unless Kids use our ZappBug heating system to ensure every pre-loved toy is thoroughly sanitized before finding a new home.
Unless Kids is a company dedicated to giving secondhand toys a second life while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene. By incorporating ZappBug into their sanitization process, they are setting a new benchmark for safe, sustainable play.
Why Sanitation Matters for Secondhand Toys
Toys pass through many hands before reaching a child’s playroom, and while a little wear and tear is expected, cleanliness should never be compromised. Parents need peace of mind knowing that the toys their children play with are free from bacteria, allergens, and potential pests.
Traditional cleaning methods—such as wiping down surfaces with disinfectants or washing plush toys—can be effective but often don’t eliminate hidden contaminants like dust mites, mold spores, or even bed bugs. That’s where the ZappBug heating system comes in.
How Unless Kids Uses ZappBug for Deep Cleaning
To ensure every toy meets their strict hygiene standards, Unless Kids follows a multi-step sanitization process that includes:
- Placing toys inside the ZappBug chamber – Plushies, soft toys, and even some plastic items with hidden crevices go inside the unit.
- Gradually heating them to the ideal temperature – The system brings the internal temperature to between 120°F and 155°F, a range that is lethal to bacteria, dust mites, and bed bugs, while remaining safe for most materials.
- Holding the temperature for a thorough clean – The toys remain in the chamber for a set duration, ensuring all contaminants are eliminated without the use of chemicals.
The Benefits of Heat Treatment for Toys
Unlike chemical sprays or detergents, the ZappBug system provides a deep, non-toxic clean that is safe for even the most sensitive children. The heat treatment process:
- Eliminates bacteria, viruses, and pests
- Does not leave chemical residue
- Is safe for allergy-prone children
- Works on a wide variety of toy materials
Because ZappBug relies on heat alone, it’s an ideal solution for companies like Unless Kids, which prioritize sustainability and child-safe practices.
