Plush Toy Care & Cleaning Guide

1. Maintain Indoor Cleanliness

• Keep the room dust-free and regularly wipe toy surfaces with a clean, dry, soft cloth or brush.

2. Avoid Sun Exposure & Keep Dry

• Prolonged sunlight can fade colors—store toys in a cool, dry place.

3. Cleaning Based on Size

✅ Small Toys:

• Cover delicate parts with tape.

• Machine wash on gentle cycle, then air-dry in shade.

• Fluff filling by gently tapping while drying.

✅ Large Toys:

• Open the seam, remove stuffing (keep special parts intact).

• Hand-wash the outer fabric, dry thoroughly, then restuff and sew back.

4. Electronic Plush Toys

• Remove batteries/electronics before washing to avoid water damage.

5. Post-Wash Grooming

• Use a clean comb to brush fur in the natural direction for a smooth finish.

6. Check Filling Material Quality

• Ensure stuffing is clean—avoid toys filled with plastic scraps, paper bits, or banned materials.

7. Inspect Small Parts Safety

• Test eyes, noses, and mouths for secure attachment—loose parts are a choking hazard.

8. Regular Cleaning for Hygiene

• Wash plush toys periodically to prevent dust mites & bacteria buildup.

9. Quick Disinfection Method

• Use a steam iron (low heat) to lightly press fur—kills germs & removes dust.

10. Hand/Machine Washing Tips

• Use mild detergent (30-40°C water).

• For long-fur toys, wool detergent works best.

11. Storage Tips to Prevent Damage

• Keep original packaging to avoid dust accumulation.

• In humid climates, add silica gel packets to prevent mold.

• Avoid piling toys to maintain shape & longevity.

By following these steps, your child’s favorite plush toys will stay clean, fluffy, and safe for years!
