How to disinfect toys of germs like streptococcus, staph, etc? some disinfectant wipes smell strong. what else kills these germs that's not so harsh?

What kind of toys?: If the toys are washable, putting them through the washer will cleanse those. If these are plastic or other hard surface, you may clean those with soap and water. Please note that you may be trying to sterilize the environment for your child and that is not necessarily a good thing.
