Discover the stories behind compelling works by world-renowned artists throughout Aventura Mall on complimentary guided tours led by Margery Gordon, the Founder/Director and Principal Guide of Arts Encounters. Tour groups meet at 6:30 p.m. in Center Court. The hour-long tour will explore works on multiple levels, including the Aventura Slide Tower, where attendees can slide down the dramatic spirals.

Arts in The Mall Robert Indiana - Conceived in 1966 and executed in 1998, the red, blue and green Pop art piece, with its signature tilted O, will be on permanent display adjacent to Aventura Mall’s Cartier and Fendi boutiques. Indiana, who passed away last year, said: “The LOVE Sculpture is the culmination of ten years of work based on the original premise that the word is an appropriated and usable element of art, just as Picasso and the Cubists made use of it at the beginning of the century.” Upper Level, next to Tap 42 Craft Kitchen + Bar. Nate Dee - Nate Dee’s latest creation, “Cherish Home,” focuses on native Florida fauna and flora, highlighting some that are endangered such as the Miami blue butterfly, Florida panther, Florida cone flower, and grasshopper sparrow.

The title comes from a quote by Theodore Roosevelt, “Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.” Outdoor Area, by Treats Food Hall.

Carsten Höller - Carsten Höller is known for large-scale artworks that draw upon amusement parks, playgrounds, and zoos. He seeks ways as an artist to transform common expectations of social spaces by altering perceptions and cre-

ating unexpected sensations – both physical and psychological. Höller applies his training as a scientist to his work as an artist, concentrating particularly on the nature of human relationships.

Promoting joy - or a feeling of “somewhere between delight and madness”— was Höller’s purpose when he created Aventura Slide Tower. “The emotional state created by traveling down the slide is a unique condition and was once described by the French writer Roger Caillois as ‘a kind of voluptuous panic upon an otherwise lucid mind,’” he says.

“The slide can be experienced both by sliding down it or by viewing it from the outside with people coming down in it— which are different, but both powerful, experiences.”

Experience the Aventura Slide Tower* during the following Hours: Regular Hours Monday - Friday: 3:00 pm - Close, Saturday: 12 pm - 9:30 pm, Sunday: 12:00 pm - 8:00 pm *Must be 50? or taller to ride the Aventura Slide Tower.

Mark Handforth - Mark Handforth’s work is centered around the sculptural vocabulary of urban areas and familiar elements of day-to-day life (traffic signs, street lamps, motor scooters, truck wheels, hydrants, neon tubes, or candles).

He adapts them by either remodeling them or by replicating them on an often considerably larger scale – which, in many cases, creates uncertainty as to whether the pieces are ready-mades or not. With Blackbird, Mark Handforth addresses the economy of everyday office Life: the wire clothes hanger stands as a symbol for the increasing abstraction of domestic life in the age of capitalist primacy. Located on the Lower Level.

These are just a few of the great works located at the Aventura Mall. If you wish to be a part of the next tour advance registration is advised. Please RSVP by going to https://aventuramall.com/public-arttours-form/

Executive Chef Gabe Fenton of BOURBON STEAK MIAMI, the acclaimed modern American steakhouse located at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa is reprising his popular monthly mashup dinners, ‘Local Eats’ just in time for summer. Conceived as an opportunity for Fenton to welcome local talent into the BOURBON STEAK kitchen for some creative collaborations, this year’s first dinner takes place on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 and features masa master Steve Santana of Taquiza.

We’re working together not only on synergizing the meal, but also making sure the wines and spirits accompanying each course pair perfectly.”

Could A Better Diet Cool Your Inflammation?

Chronic inflammation is associated with such diseases as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and can harm people in numerous other ways, from painful joints to dental problems and aging skin.

It can even disturb your slumber, since inflammation can impact the breathing airways during sleep, resulting in sleep apnea among other potential issues, says Dr. Lynn Lipskis (www.drlipskis.com), director of the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre and co-author with her husband, Dr. Edmund Lipskis, of Breathe, Sleep, Live, Smile: Integrative Treatments for TMJ/TMD, Sleep Apnea, Orthodontics.

Yet, with all the potential complications, not everyone may realize that one effective way to combat inflammation is through better nutrition, Dr. Lipskis says.

“Inflammation can come from a variety of issues, but diet

undoubtedly is one of the bigger factors,” she says. “Some people unwisely put dietary compliance at the bottom of their priority list. While some patients with better diets don’t have a lot of inflammation, others are so inflamed they can’t breathe at all through their nose.”

Dr. Lynn Lipskis and Dr. Edmund Lipskis suggest a list of inflammatory foods to avoid: Gluten. Foods containing gluten can be some of the most inflammatory. “Generally,” Dr. Lynn Lipskis says, “gluten is the protein part of a grain. A lot of people will react to gluten by experiencing increased inflammation. Gluten-free eating has become popular because so many people who adopt it find that they feel better. Symptoms of sensitivity to gluten include fatigue, diarrhea, constipation,

achy joints and brain fog.”

Dairy. “Dairy products promote mucus production,” Dr. Ed Lipskis says. “That inflames tissue and mucous clogs the nasal passages. There are mixed reviews on whether people should consume dairy products and to what extent.

I recommend an elimination diet to see how it affects you.”

Processed carbohydrates.

These include a litany of foods people love, but the Lipskis team says the eventual harm outweighs the enjoyment. “It may mean saying good-bye to pasta, breads, cookies, candies,” Dr. Ed Lipskis says. “People often believe that whole wheat bread is better than white bread, but whole wheat is actually just as inflammatory because of the carbohydrate in wheat, known as amylopectin A.” Similarly, Lipskis says most people mistakenly believe brown rice to be a better choice than white

rice. “But like whole wheat,” he says, “the husk of brown rice contains the allergens and proteins that can cause inflammation.”

Alcohol (red wine). “People who have sleep apnea are assured a bad night’s sleep after drinking alcohol,” Dr. Lynn Lipskis says. “Red wine targets the nasal membrane, causing swelling and limiting the opening for air flow. This inflammation can last six to eight hours, ruining a full night’s sleep.”

Refined sugars. “Sugar is everywhere,” Dr. Ed Lipskis says.

“While sugar is known for negatives – rotting teeth, packing on the pounds, providing no nutrition – the biggest reason you should say good-bye to sugar is that it’s one of the most inflammatory parts of many foods. And be careful with fruit, which is generally thought of as healthy but contains naturally

occurring fructose. The less fiber there is in a fruit, the less healthy it is.”

“We should be eating a normal, balanced diet of real food – not processed foods,” Dr. Lynn Lipskis says. “It’s tough to avoid the occasional bagel, bag of chips, or glass of red wine, but going off the wagon, so to speak, can lead to immediate inflammation and long-term problems. Listen to your body it will let you know the effect that each type of food has.”

Helping Children Embrace Their Unique Selves Some small children don’t care what anyone thinks about them.

If they want to sing at the top of their lungs, they sing at the top of their lungs. If they want to wear a silly hat, mixmatched socks or gloves on a hot day, they do it – with no regard for how others might judge their eccentricities.

Somewhere along the line, though, most children long to fit in and begin to worry that their differences make them stand out – and not in a good way. So, they try to conform to what they perceive their peers or society expect from them.

“Unfortunately, in the process they begin to hide what makes them unique instead of embracing it,” says Jennifer Lynch, an educator, child advocate and author of the children’s book Livi and Grace (www.jenniferlynchbooks.com).

“They become embarrassed or sad about their differences, maybe feel that people think they are strange, and that other kids won’t like them or won’t play with them. And in truth, other children sometimes will bully a child who is seen as different.”

Lynch has served as an advocate for

children in the court system, foster care and treatment facilities. In working with those children, many of whom are abused or neglected, she says, you often have to help them overcome their insecurities about their differences.

“It’s important for them and all children to believe in themselves,” she says.

“They need to understand that different is okay. It’s our differences that make us special.”

This message is so universally important, Lynch says, that it became the theme of her children’s book, which is based on her daughters and their distinct personalities.

“My two girls are so unlike one another that it’s almost shocking,” she says. “It made me think back to the children I encounter in the court system who say they dislike or even hate themselves because they feel different from their peers or their siblings.”

Lynch says some of the ways parents or other adults can help children are: Remind them that differences make people special. While it’s natural for chil-

BLINDS & SHADES Motorized Solar Shades

dren to long to fit in with their peers, Lynch says, it’s also important for them to understand that their individuality is what makes them unique.

“Differences are interesting and life enriching,” she says.

“Part of the message is that you should appreciate the diverse traits in everyone you know, and also appreciate what makes you special.” Talk to them about the ways in which they shine.

“Kids like talking about themselves,” Lynch says. “So get them involved in a conversation about what they are good at. Maybe that is sports. Maybe it is writing.

Maybe they make good grades or they are a good big brother or friend. Whatever their special talent is, explore it with them so they know that there is something they do well.”

Encourage them to help other kids feel good about themselves. Young people can feel empowered not only by embracing

their differences, but also by providing support and being a friend to others who are different.

“When you help a child pick out positive things about themselves,” Lynch says, “they begin to focus on that, not the hurtful things that weigh so heavy on their hearts and minds.”

Do Introspective Questions Have The Power To Change Your Life?

JUNE 2019 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 14

If you’re stuck in a rut or struggling with life – at work, in your relationships, in the way you view yourself – it could be time for a little self interrogation.

Asking yourself probing questions about who you are and where you want to go in life is how powerful change can begin, says Khalil Osiris, author of the book A Freedom That Comes From Within (www.khalilosiris.com).

Those questions can be as simple as “What makes me weep?” or as challenging as “What might other people see about me with clarity that I’m unable to see clearly about myself?”

“For me, deep questioning is something we need to regularly engage in as human beings,” Osiris says.

Once people start digging, they realize that some things they’ve taken for granted about themselves, their lives and the world are in need of closer examination, he says.

These days, Osiris is a successful international speaker who conducts workshops focused on personal transformation and overcoming selfimposed limitations. But it was hitting rock bottom that motivated him to begin asking himself soulsearching questions. As a young man in prison on

robbery charges, Osiris contemplated the choices he made that led him to that point.

“I asked myself questions such as, ‘Was the judge right about me when he said I had squandered my gifts and advantages, and would probably die in prison?’ and ‘What would it look like to become a man my sons could be proud of?’ The questions kept coming and as the questions evolved, so did I.” The average person doesn’t need to face something as dramatic as incarceration to start asking questions that can transform their lives, though, Osiris says.

“Questions have the power to change the life of anyone who’s willing to look within and to answer as honestly as they can,” he says. “And the process doesn’t have to be painful or torturous. It can be joyful and full of hope.”

Osiris has suggestions for getting started with questions tailored to a variety of situations.

Improving relationships. Does the way I treat others say what I would really like to say? Do my actions speak volumes to other people about the way I feel about them?

What relationship would I like to change, starting with the way I treat the other person and letting

my actions speak in a more loving, nurturing way?

Defining yourself. In my life as it is now, am I an observer or a participant?

Am I someone who brings energy to people and situations, or someone who drains it? Do I feel like a victim with no ability to change my life, or do I feel that I have a say in the way my life unfolds?

Embracing change.

How firmly do I hold on to old ideas about who I am and what I can do? Am I gripping too tightly to ideas that no longer serve me? Have I limited myself in what I see as possible for my life?

Impacting the world through work and volunteering. Do I see my job as simply a way to pay the bills? Can I be kinder and more positive in my interactions with those I work with each day? Can I see myself doing volunteer work that is meaningful to me?

“Deep questioning can transform every facet of your life if you have an honest desire to change the attitudes and misperceptions that need changing,” Osiris says. “But regardless of how, when and where you ask yourself the questions, the fact that you’re even asking them is the most important step of all.”

If a patient has noticed more varicose veins or spider veins on the legs? Ankles that are darker than they used to be? Or bleeding veins or ulcers? These are all symptoms of various levels of venous disease.

At Fox Vein and Laser Experts, you will find out about tattoos, whether you want them removed or just want more room for more ink. What about those sun spots or how your hands look? Dr. Fox and her team can make your skin look younger and fresher.

They also refine your scars after a tummy tuck or after getting a boob lift or breast implants.

If you have been living with spider veins or unwanted hair for any length of time, there is a laser for you. All of these are

treated in the office with nonablative lasers that have minimal discomfort. Anything painful can be numbed by a physician or nurse practitioner and treated under the comfort of anesthesia.

Fox Vein and Laser Experts have some of the newest and best lasers available for the treatment of varicose veins, skin rejuvenation, removal of unwanted hair, sun-spots and more.

DR. FOX HAS THE EXPERIENCE Dr. Fox has been on the cutting edge of vein care for decades and is a laser expert. She trained in Cleveland at the famous Cleveland Clinic in Vascular Medicine, and after working for Case Western Reserve University Hospitals of Cleveland, she moved to South Florida. She was one of the first physicians in Ohio to perform Endovenous laser Ablation, one of the first in South Florida, and the country, to offer Clarivein and now is one of the first to offer Venaseal. She has been on the forefront of vein and laser care for decades.

WHAT SYMPTOMS DO PEOPLE WITH VEIN PROBLEMS HAVE? Varicose vein disease affects

people of all ages. The symptoms range from heaviness, aching, tiredness at the end of the day, to swelling, bulging veins, bleeding veins and venous ulcerations.

At night, legs can be restless or have night cramps. The skin can start scaling around the ankles and gradually become darker over time. Sometimes, the skin will become hardened and scarred.

In some instances, sores form and can lead to ulcerations or open wounds that take time to heal. People think of vein stripping when they think of vein treatments. They are not aware that most vein procedures are done in the office under local anesthesia and patients can go back to work and their normal activities immediately afterwards.

In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, radio frequency and laser devices were FDA approved to treat venous insufficiency and have become the standard of care to treat venous insufficiency and vein problems for decades.

After a patient is diagnosed with venous insufficiency, a laser or radio frequency device is placed into the vein using ultrasound guidance, local anesthetic is placed around the vein, the vein is heated and sealed shut. The

blood is diverted down better and is more competent in the veins. The patient is placed in a compression hose for a few weeks and told to walk as much as possible.

ON THE CUTTING EDGE WITH VENASEAL Venaseal is one of the newest FDA approved methods of closing off varicose veins and getting rid of venous insufficiency. It uses a crazy-glue like cyanoacralate solution to close off damaged veins. The patient has to first have a venous ultrasound to diagnose venous insufficiency.

First, the patient has to try conservative measures to treat the vein problems, with leg elevation, medical grade compression hose and anti-inflammatory medications. If these do not help, the symptoms, the patient can have EVLA, Radio Frequency Ablation of the vein, Foam Sclerotherapy, Venaseal or another form of closure of the vein.

Venaseal is a procedure performed under ultrasound guidance. A catheter or hollow tube is placed into the vein. Then, under ultrasound a crazy glue like solution is injected into the vein. This cyanoacralate com-

pound hardens and blocks the vein. The procedure is done with very little anesthetic, only a few sticks of a needle in a matter of minutes. No heat is used, so there is no damage to the tissue or the nerves.

The patient does not need to wear a compression hose afterwards. They can resume most normal activities even immediately afterwards. With any vein procedure there are always risks of blood clots and other more rare risks. This procedure is covered by medicare and done in the office in a matter of minutes.

TATTOO REMOVAL IS A POPULAR PROCEDURE Dr. Fox and her team are also experts at tattoo removal. They have the Picoway laser that is one of the fastest and best ways to remove tattoos on the market today. It uses pulsations of laser light that are a fraction of a second and literally shatter the ink or pigment that is unwanted.

This allows the power of the laser to be much higher than other similar lasers and allows the tattoo to be removed faster and with less complications or discomfort.

The B-52s Gear Up For 40th Anniversary World Tour OMD & Berlin will open the August 29 concert at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts High-profile documentary produced by Fred Armisen & First Official Book to be released Next Year FORT LAUDERDALE – Now with over 20 million albums sold into their career, there can be no doubt as to why The B-52s remain one of rock music’s most beloved and enduring bands. As the B-52s continue to celebrate their 40th anniversary, the band announced a world-wide tour today that is expected to cover more than 10 countries and will include a headlining North American summer tour, which will stop at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts’ Au Rene Theater with OMD and Berlin opening the show on Thursday, August 29 at 7:30 p.m.

In 2018, the B-52s began their 40th anniversary celebration in style, co-headlining a massively successful American tour with Culture Club and Thompson Twins, taking over venues across the country. Continuing the festivities, Da Capo Press/ Hachette Books has announced plans to publish the first-ever official history of the band in 2020. Meanwhile, the B-52s have joined forces with executive producer Fred Armisen and director Craig Johnson (The Skeleton Twins, Wilson, Alex Strangelove) to develop an authorized documentary film of the group.

“Who knew that when we played our first house dance party in Athens, Georgia in 1976 that we would still be rocking the house in 2019!,” says vocalist Kate Pierson. Adds fellow

vocalist Cindy Wilson, “Visiting over 10 countries to perform for our fans around the globe makes us so incredibly happy. Let’s rock!” Front man Fred Schneider gives fair warning, “Woo-hoo!

Europe and then all over North America! Dust off those go-go boots and shine your dancing shoes because the B-52s are coming!”

You don’t need to look too hard to see or hear the multidimensional influence of the B52s. As they take their partymusic revolution into the 21st century, the B-52s show no signs of slowing down, serving up their own unique blend of music and showmanship to millions of fans around the world.

About The B-52’s: Selling over 20 million albums worldwide, The B-52s—Fred Schneider (vocals), Kate Pierson (vocals), Cindy Wilson (vocals) and Keith Strickland (guitar, drums, keys, programming)— have quietly impacted alternative music, fashion and culture over the course of fourplus decades. They count John Lennon, Madonna, James Murphy and Michael Stipe among their disciples. Panic! At The Disco, Blood Orange, The Offspring, Pitbull, Roger Sanchez, and DJ Shadow have sampled classics from the band’s discography as Seth MacFarlane’s Family Guy, The Simpsons, Sugarland, and more offered up covers of their own.

They inched towards the forefront of the post-punk movement in America codified by 1979’s self-titled The B-52s.

Not only did the record go gold, but it also placed at #152 on Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” and #99 on VH1’s “Greatest Albums of All Time.” The gold-selling Wild Planet arrived hot on its heels in 1980. With Strickland brilliantly filling the void in with music composition and live show guitar duties, 1989’s watershed Cosmic Thing elevated the B-52s to another galaxy altogether. It

moved 5 million-plus units and spawned a string of Top 10 smashes in the form of the GRAMMY®-nominated “Roam” and “Love Shack”—which Rolling Stone lauded on the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”

After a 16-year hiatus, The B52’s proved as bright, bold, and boundless as ever on 2008’s Funplex. The momentum only ramped up when they roamed on tour in 2015. As they prepare a high-profile documentary and first official book, The B-52s look forward to inspiring future generations.

Tickets are $59.50-$129.50 with $159.50 JetBlue Flight Deck on the Club Level tickets and two VIP packages available for $214.50 and $464.50 which include premium seating and other exclusives.

Making A Splash In Aventura

By Larry Blustein • Aventura Digest

ber of extensive renovations and hotel flags in its 48-year history. It was developed by Donald Soffer, founder of Turnberry Associates and the eventual developer of Aventura Mall. Originally called Aventura Country Club, its first phase was completed in 1970 and was a core piece of Soffer’s plan to convert an area of wetlands and abandoned rock mines into a residential community. Ten years later, in 1980, the country club was renamed Turnberry Isle Resort and Country Club, after the renowned golf course in Scotland.

offerings such as Tidal Cove.”

Klein insists that Tidal Cove isn’t meant to compete with general admission facilities like Grapeland Park or Paradise Cove. Instead, Tidal Cove is designed to give Turnberry Isle a leg up against other luxury resorts, especially those with their own giant water slides and lazy rivers, many of which are in the Orlando area.

“Adding a waterpark to a resort creates a true destination for families,” Klein says.

“It also adds tremendous value to our membership at Turnberry Isle Club, so it’s great for families and resort guests.”

FOOD, FUN & MUCH MORE The Surf House Bar & Grill is a twostory open-air restaurant and bar with seating for 142 guests. Surf House offers elevated dishes that fit the tropical setting like swordfish churrasco, steamed mussels, shrimp ceviche and a blackened mahi mahi sandwich to name a few.

The second new restaurant, Freestyle, will serve as a quick service food venue and is designed to meet family needs and round out the Tidal Cove food and beverage offerings with items like pizza and house-made gelato as signature menu items.

“We are proud to have such a wellrounded and highly-accredited staff at JW Marriott Miami Turnberry to support our newest luxury waterpark venture,” said Jeff Klein, Vice President and Managing Director of Turnberry. “Our newlyappointed leadership team has a proven expertise and results-driven approach that will continue to enhance the resort’s presence in Aventura and reinforce our commitment to providing outstanding services to our valued guests through

This will be a summer like never before. If you love the outdoors and enjoy having fun in the water, JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa is the place to be.

With the opening of Tidal Cove Waterpark, featuring a 60-foot tower with seven water slides, a 4,000-square-foot kids pool with an aquatic play structure, the first-ever FlowRider® Triple surf simulation pool in the nation and an additional VIP pool area for adults, the playing field has indeed changed when it comes to fun for all ages.

“It’s exactly what we needed in this part of south Florida,” Sunny Isles Beach resident Kate Cowan said. “You can already tell what kind of summer this is going to be - with the heat and humidity already kicking in, so having a place to take the family, enjoy great food and cool down, is an idea that everyone is going to embrace.”

The state-of-the-art outdoor recreation area has added five-acres of pool deck to the resort. Tidal Cove is the newest amenity of the multi-million-dollar expansion and renovation and will be available to resort guests and Turnberry Isle Country Club members.

These new water amenities will connect with existing facilities that include a zero-entry pool and a Lazy River that winds through a peaceful one-eighth mile of tropical foliage inspired by the local surroundings.

This impressive facility will include 25 private luxury cabanas for relaxation, two private event lawns with a new retail store. It gets better!

Turnberry Isle Resort has had a num-

through an aqua adventure of dips and drops, and gravity-defying watercoaster climbs.

Whizzard: Grab your friends, grab a mat, and race through an enclosed highspeed AquaTube as it spirals through multiple lanes of twists and turns toward a 360-degree loop and a surprise drop at the finish line.

Exclusive FlowRider® Triple: Tidal Cove is home to the first-ever FlowRider® Triple facility in the nation, offering three surfing areas totaling 42-feet wide. The FlowRider® is a surf simulation machine which incorporates elements of surfing, bodyboarding, skateboarding, skimboarding, snowboarding and wakeboarding. Through the invention of the FlowRider® and its patented sheet wave technology, FlowRider® has pioneered the creation of the ultimate cross-platform board sport of “Flow-boarding,” which will be showcased at Tidal Cove.

Flowboarding is a sport that appeals to all board sport participants along with other Xtreme sport enthusiasts. General use and private lessons will be available at Tidal Cove.

Lessons: $45 per person, for 30 minutes.

Lazy River: Float along our winding lazy river as it meanders past Tidal Cove’s colorful tropical landscape.

Laguna Pool: The zero-entry lagoonstyle swimming pool is a favorite with families, sun seekers and active swimmers.

Oasis Pool: Spend the day relaxing under the south Florida sun in our hidden tropical oasis featuring preferred seating.

Kids’ Cove: Plan a full day of fun in our 4,000-square-foot kids’ swimming pool and an emoji-inspired aquatic playscape.

Memberships for Tidal Cove at JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa are available now. Tidal Cove is an amenity for both hotel guests and members.

Locals / day guests will be able to purchase a Resort Day Membership ($75 Monday-Thursday/$105 Friday-Sunday) which grants the member access to the amenities available to hotel guests staying on property, which includes âme Spa & Wellness Collective, Tidal Cove Waterpark, pool and slides, Corsair Kitchen & Bar, Surf House Bar & Grill, Freestyle, Starbucks, and Bourbon Steak, as well as complimentary shuttle service, for the calendar day for which such Resort Day Membership is purchased.

HEALTH Tips for sanitizing 5 hard-to-clean items in your children’s rooms (BPT) - Every parent knows that keeping kids’ rooms - and their stuff - sanitary can seem like a losing battle. Between the playdates, trips to the park and going back-and-forth from school to home, parents also worry about the amount of not just dirt, but also potentially harmful bacteria, living on all the toys, clothes and bedding in their children’s rooms.

What are the best ways to make sure children’s items are as clean and sanitary as possible? Here are some tips for sanitizing common, tough-to-clean items in your kids’ rooms.

Baby’s plastic toys: Babies put everything in their mouths. For the plastic toys your baby loves to carry, mouth and drop (not necessarily in that order), frequent cleaning is essential.

For completely plastic toys, with no other materials included, you could just soak and wash them in hot soapy water, rinsing well and air drying afterward. But to sanitize them, go a step further - put them through the dishwasher. Use the silverware holder or tie into a mesh bag to wash them on the gentlest cycle, then let them air dry. You may also want to wash plastic bathtub toys, which are not staying

clean in the tub with your child. Distilled white vinegar diluted with water helps inhibit mold and mildew growth.

Stuffed animals: If your child has a favorite stuffed toy they love to live, play and sleep with, you know how hard it is to convince your child to part with it for a spin in the washing machine. But it’s worth it to know that the stuffed toy they spend all their time with has been sanitized.

You may want to check the toy for rips or holes before washing, so no stuffing falls out. DIY expert Mandi Gubler shares helpful tips for sanitizing and repairing your child’s favorite stuffed animals at her blog, Vintage Revivals.

Gubler recommends using Lysol Laundry Sanitizer, a one-of-a-kind product that’s safe to use on washable fabric items. It kills 99.9% of bacteria, when used as directed, that regular detergents may leave behind. While washing stuffed animals with regular laundry detergent and cold water may clean dirt and add a fresh scent, it might not completely remove bacteria, including harmful bacteria that may cause illness such as staph infections. Add Lysol Laundry Sanitizer to the

fabric softener compartment, following product directions, to help eliminate bacteria. Wash toys on the gentle cycle, and be careful not to launder toys with batteries or that make sounds.

Bedding: Wash bedding in hot water for the best results, although it’s a good idea to check care labels for warnings about water temperature, especially the first time you wash anything. Mattress pads, however, should be washed in warm water. For special blankets, such as homemade baby blankets, use the gentle cycle for extra care.

Shoes: You can even wash children’s sneakers in the washing machine. If you remove the shoelaces and soles, you can then wash the shoes in a mesh bag to launder using cold water. It’s probably a good idea to use the gentle cycle and then allow shoes to air dry rather than putting them in the dryer.

Athletic wear: If you have kids in sports, you know how dirty athletic wear items can get, and how it seems like the odors never quite go away, no matter how much you wash them. The odor molecules caused by bacteria can become trapped in the synthetic fabrics of most

athletic wear, so it’s best to eliminate the odors at the source. Traditional fabric softeners and dryer sheets just mask odors and might damage clothing, but Lysol Laundry Sanitizer Sport is suitable for most athletic wear fabric, leaving it smelling fresh and clean. You can add it to your athletic wear load according to directions and wash in cold water. Be sure to follow specific care instructions about drying athletic wear items.

There’s no need to surrender in the battle against dirt and bacteria living in your children’s toys, bedding and clothing. Set a regular schedule for washing and sanitizing these tough items to help freshen up your child’s bedroom and keep it looking and smelling cleaner.
