We really adore stuffed toys. They are among our precious possessions in life. They continue to remind us of the moments they represent. They give us a flash back of our happy memories.
We also need to be taking care of them just like our things. We should be cleaning our stuffable animals too. They have to be clean so their appearance will be maintained. If a person keeps it maintained, it could last for years. Here are the steps for you to be able to properly clean it.
If your toy becomes dirty, look at its label for the care directions given by the manufacturer. You need to follow these directions as they are the appropriate steps which you should do. Care directions will vary based on the material they are made of. Some of it has fur coat made from synthetic materials like the polyester. Some of it has natural materials like wool as its body cover.
Have some baking soda. Sprinkle some of the baking soda to the animals. The baking soda will keep them fresh for some time. Leave the soda there for about fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, brush it off. Do not put too much force on brushing it as you may damage your animal.
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 you see that there are soiled marks on it, you should remove that too. Remove it using a mild all purpose cleaner and a sponge. If it is heavily soiled, use a scrub to brush off the dirt in that area. If you wanted to remove spots and stains, you can use a rubbing alcohol for that one.
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.
Our stuffed animals are among our precious possessions. Some of us consider it as one of our family members. Just like your family member, one should keep taking care of those.
