Most of us love having stuffed toys. They are one of those valuable things we own. They remind us of all those moments that it represent. There are some that brings back those happy memories.
Just like your things you need to take care of it. Stuffable animals need to be cleaned once in a while. It needs to be cleaned to maintain its appearance. If you keep them maintained, they will last for many years. Here are some steps on how you could clean them properly.
If they become dirty, check first if the toys have care instructions from the manufacturer on its labels. You should follow these instructions as these are the proper ones you should do. Care instructions differ depending on the material it is made of. There are those who have fur coats made from materials which are synthetic just like polyester. There are also those who have a natural material just like wool which is covering their body.
Grab some baking soda. Sprinkle a small amount of it to your stuffed animals. This will be able to keep them fresh. Leave the baking soda on it for approximately fifteen minutes. After that time, brush the soda off. Do not exert so much force when you brush it because you may disfigure those animals.
Get your vacuum and then turn it on. Use the hose attached to the vacuum to gently vacuum the particles of dust and dirt off the animals. You should do that every week. See to it that there will not be some tiny things that will be sucked off the animal. Examples of these things are its loose eyes, ribbons and bows.
If it has some soiled parts, you need to get rid of that too. Remove it with the use of mild all purpose cleaner and sponge. If the parts are heavily soiled, use some scrub to gently brush it off that part. If there are some spots and stain you wanted to remove, you may use some rubbing alcohol for it.
You last resort would be to wash those toys on a washing machine. Look at its label if they could be wet. There are instances where the animals get disfigured when they would get wet which is why you need to ensure that. If its really requires you that, you could placed them inside the pillow case one toy at a time. Use some safety pins to seal the pillow case. Wash that on delicate cycle mode. Then, add some fabric softener so you could make the coat fluffy.
Use a hair dryer in drying them. It would be best is a hair dryer is used rather than a clothes dryer since the stuffed animals are so sensitive. You need to be careful not to get it so close to that hair dryer. If one does not have dryer, he could let it be dried on air. It could take you many days to have it dried but that is the best thing to do to avoid them from getting damaged.
These stuffed things are also our valuable things. There are people who consider it as part of the family. Just like a family, one needs to keep taking care of them.
