Mum’s grim discovery after cleaning kids building blocks will make you think twice before letting kids play with them
A MUM has been left disgusted after a grim discovery with her kids’ building blocks.
Dawn took to social media to reveal that she decided to give the plastic building blocks a bath – and the results were so grim it will make you think twice before giving them to your own kids.
In the clip, the mum explained that she decided to put them in the bath after her tot accidentally spilled her coffee all over her blocks.
The mum decided it would be easiest to chuck them in the bath with some soap to get the coffee off – but she was horrified by the results.
She wrote: “POV your toddler spills an entire cup of coffee into their Megablocks bin and now you’re stirring them around in your bathtub realising how dirty they actually are.”
The mum began to stir the blocks around but the water soon went black from all the dirt they had picked up since she bought them.
“At first I was like “ooh, this is pretty” then I went real quick from that to (sick emoji),” she captioned the post.
The clip posted to her TikTok account @dawno.saur quickly went viral with over 1million views and 38k likes.
People were stunned by the colour of the water but the warning comes just in time as we’re sure plenty of kids got building blocks for Christmas.
Parents were absolutely horrified by the clip and took to the comments to share their disdain, with many claiming they’d be cleaning their kids’ blocks a lot more often.
One person wrote: “We’ve had our for 4 years and now I feel like I have to.”
Another commented: “I didn’t need to see this *turns on tub faucet.”
“I know right I just did my grandaughter’s toys was shocked,” penned a third.
Others shares how they kept building blocks clean without any hassle.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “This happened to me. Found out they are dishwasher safe!”
“You can clean them in the dishwasher. I used to do that to clean my sons,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I used to put my kids blocks in a pillow case then in the washing machine on low or no spin.”
