Warm Tip: Maintenance for Plush Toys

1. Keep the indoor clean and reduce dust as much as possible. Clean the surface of the toys regularly with clean, dry, and soft tools.
2. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and keep the inside and outside of the toy dry.
3、 Cleaning can take necessary measures according to the size. For small toys, you can first use tape to stick the parts that are afraid of wear and tear. Then, directly put them into the washing machine for gentle washing, spinning, and hanging in a shady place to dry completely. Meanwhile, gently pat the toy to make its fur and filling fluffier and softer. For large toys, you can find the filling seam and cut the seam to remove the filling (polyester cotton). Special parts can be left out (better to maintain the appearance). Use tape to stick the parts that are afraid of wear and tear. Clean and dry the outer skin, then put the filling into the toy skin, shape it, and sew it up.
4. For furs/fabrics or dolls with high-tech electronics, speakers, or motors, always remove the electronic components (some are not waterproof) or batteries before washing to prevent water damage.
5. After cleaning and drying the toy, use a clean comb or similar tool to comb the fur in the direction of the pelt to make it smooth and beautiful.
6. Check if the internal organs of plush toys are clean and hygienic. In substandard toy fillings, there are discarded plastics, fiber ropes, paper debris, and even the black heart cotton that is strictly prohibited by the country.
7. Twist the eyes, nose, and mouth of the plush toy to see if it is sturdy. If the small parts of the toy do not meet the national standards for tension, it is considered an inferior product.
8. In order to maintain good health, it is necessary to regularly disinfect and clean the plush toys.
9. A simple and effective method of sterilization and disinfection is to use a steam iron with a strong power to gently and repeatedly iron the wool. This also has a certain effect on killing bacteria and removing dirt.
10. The key to washing plush toys at home: For toys with fewer small parts, you can use 30-40°C warm water to hand wash or machine wash, using neutral laundry detergent. For long-haired plush toys, using cashmere laundry detergent will be better.
11. How to keep toys clean and extend their lifespan: when purchasing toys, do not discard the cardboard boxes or plastic bags, as they can be used for dust-proof packaging when storing. In humid climates, to prevent toys from becoming damp, you can place dry agents when storing. For stuffed toys, try to avoid piling them up to prevent deformation and damage.
