Depends on what you are washing. I think dish washer safe toys are excellent, because the dish washer does sanitize a little better than spot cleaning even with clorox cleanup.
BUT, washing some things in the dish washer or clothes washer can create some issues depending on what it is. Like stuffed animals and pillows depending on size and material dont always get dry well in the center which could create mold.
But, in general, I think as long as you are using lysol and something santizing like clorox cleanup or the lysol wipes, that you are probably as clean as its going to get. What do you think of spot cleaning toys, do you put them in the wash anyway?
all depends on what the toy is and what you are trying to clean up. I have been known to use the hand tool part of a bissel carpet cleaner on stuffed toys that would not survive cleaning in the washing machine. Pet cleaners are good for spraying things that have been barfed on because of the enzymes breaking it down to never smell again. Goo-gone works wonders for removing crayons on hard surfaces and rubbing alcohol in large doses works on things like carpet. search online and you can find a solution to remove almost anything without destroying things. in general though, if you must use the washing machine put it on delicates and don't put the item in the dryer, the heat will melt the fur on the stuffed animals.. sadly though it means it takes forever to dry and never quite seems right again.
It depends on the toy. Most stuffed toys and animals I stick in a pillow case, close it and wash. But if its a hard toy, like a ball or something, I use something like lysol wipes or Clorox anywhere cleaning spray.
