A serious Pesach cleaning philosophy question

Please don't bash me or get shocked Shocked

like how could I consider such a thing. This is a chance for me to gain understanding of what we all seem to do for Pesach.

DC are small enough that they play mainly on the floor. I don't really consider my floor a chometz free zone. Why then do I have to do more than just remove visible chometz from toys. What am I really gaining by soaking them in the bathtub or throwing them in the washer?

Thanks for the (gentle) enlightenment

You don't. But you might want to wash bears etc or things they put in their mouths.
Often, throwing something in the washer is just so much easier than wiping something off block by block.

Maybe the theory is "well, it really should get a good cleaning at least once a year, and just before Pesach is as good a time as any"?

Yep! I do go by that philosophy most of the time, as I see how good my cleaning is during the rest of the year (NOTTTTT). Laughing

BUT only if I have enough time.
