HOW TO WASH YOUR PLUSH TOY
May 31, 2022
Plush toys cannot be washed directly in the washing machine
1. Washing machines wash all kinds of clothes all year round. There are many dirty places in them. Washing bacteria with washing machines can easily adhere to the fluff of plush toys, which is not conducive to health.
2. Plush toys are usually filled with fluffy cotton (space cotton), which is easy to agglomerate under the stirring of the washing machine. After washing, the fluffy feeling of plush toys will be reduced.
3. Washing plush toys with the washing machine will lose some parts (nose, eyes, etc.).
4. Some electronic plush toys are not allowed to touch water.
5. Some materials on the surface of plush toys will deform and shrink after washing, so different toys should be cleaned in different ways.
Recommended cleaning method for plush toys:
1. [dry clean with coarse salt]
Put the coarse salt and the dirty plush toy into a plastic bag, and then fasten the mouth of the bag and shake it for dozens of times. Now, you must find that the plush toys are clean. The extracted crude salt becomes gray black due to the adsorption of dirt. The principle of this trick is to use the adsorption of salt, namely sodium chloride, on dirt. Residents can draw inferences from one instance. Small things such as plush collars and plush cushions in cars can also be "cleaned" in this way
2. [hand wash]
Prepare the washbasin to fill with water, pour in the detergent and stir it until it is completely dissolved, put the fluffy toy into the hand to squeeze the detergent into it, then pour out the sewage, rinse it with clean water, wrap the fluffy toy with a clean dry cloth for a few minutes, absorb some of the water, and then dry it, or let it take a sunbath.
3. [washing]
For the plush toys that can be cleaned, add the detergent into the water basin and flush some water in a certain proportion. Stir the water in the basin with a general soft brush to stir up rich foam. Then brush the surface of the plush toys with foam with a soft brush. Be sure not to touch too much water on the brush. After brushing the surface of plush toys, wrap the plush toys with a bath towel and put them into a basin full of clean water for medium pressure washing. In this way, the dust and detergent in the plush toys can be removed. Then put the plush toy into a water basin with softener and soak it for a few minutes, and then wash it in a water basin full of clear water for several times until the water in the basin changes from turbid to clear. Wrap the cleaned plush toys with bath towels and put them into the washing machine for dehydration. The dehydrated plush toys will be shaped and combed and then put in a ventilated place to dry. In this way, your plush toys will look like new ones.
4. [wipe]
Use soft sponge or clean dry cloth, dip the diluted neutral detergent to wipe the surface, and then wipe it with clean water.
Large toys can take out the cotton inside and wash it. Small toys can use the above methods, provided that there is no electronic equipment inside
