We should always take care of it just like our possessions. These stuffable animals have to be cleaned regularly. To maintain their look, they have to be cleaned regularly. If they are well maintained, it will be able to last for a long time. The following are procedures on cleaning them properly.

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.

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 the vacuum and turn it on. Use the hose attachment of the vacuum to softly vacuum the dust particles and those dirt off the toy. Keep doing that every week. Ensure that there will be no objects which could get sucked off from the toy. One of these objects could be their loose eyes, their ribbon or 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 some hair dryer to make it dry. Hair dryers are the best ones to use instead of the clothes dryer because your stuffed things are sensitive. You have to be cautious not to have them close to your hair dryer. If a hair dryer is not available, you can just air dry them. It would take you a few days to make them completely dried but it is the best step to do to avoid it from being disfigured.
