Plush toys are more than just soft companions—they hold sentimental value and often become cherished keepsakes. To ensure they stay clean, fluffy, and in great condition for years, proper care is essential. Here’s a quick guide to help you maintain your beloved plush friends.

1.Regular Cleaning
The first step in plush toy care is regular cleaning. For surface dirt, a simple lint roller can work wonders. Gently roll it over the toy’s surface to pick up dust and small particles.

For more thorough cleaning, hand washing is usually the safest option. Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Gently swish the plush toy in the soapy water, being careful not to tug on any loose parts. After that, rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Then, squeeze out the excess water gently. Do not wring the toy forcefully as it may damage the stuffing.

2.Spot Cleaning for Stains

Once clean, drying is crucial. Avoid using a high – heat dryer as it can cause the plush material to fade, shrink, or become misshapen. Instead, air – dry your plush toy. Place it on a clean towel in a well – ventilated area. You can also use a fan on a low setting to speed up the drying process slightly.

Avoid storing them in damp basements or attics where mold and mildew can develop.
