Firstly, it is important to understand the internal composition of the plush toy. Some toys are filled with straw, bean shells or contain BBs, rattles etc. These should not be cleaned directly with water. These should not be cleaned directly with water. Water can easily damage such toys and should only be cleaned with a damp towel and soft brush.
For plush toys with batteries, electronic devices and stereos, be sure to remove all electronic components before washing to prevent water damage.
Many high-end plush toys need to be washed in warm water so as not to damage the softness of the plush toy. Generally a water temperature of 30 or 40 degrees is fine.
But on hot summer days there is no need to add boiling water. A tub of water that has been exposed to the sun is quite suitable for washing plush toys.
When washing plush toys, it is recommended that light coloured and dark coloured plush toys are washed separately to avoid improper cleaning methods leading to colour loss and paint staining on light coloured toys.
When cleaning plush toys, it is recommended to use a neutral detergent (silk and wool detergent is better), which is less harmful to plush toys and will not lead to hair loss, colour loss, etc. It is also important to add the right amount of detergent, which should be added reasonably according to the instructions to avoid wastage.
Don't scrub too hard, it's easy to break. You should choose whether or not to use force according to the texture of the plush toy, use less force if the plush is long, or rub it slightly if the plush is short or not.
Washing machines can save energy, but it is very easy to break a plush toy at high speed, so hand washing is recommended.
If you don't dry the plush toys after washing, they can become mouldy and produce bacteria that can be harmful to your baby.
Plush toys are not easy to dry, so wrap them in a gentle washcloth to squeeze out a lot of moisture and leave them to dry in the sun.
Note: Do not leave the toy in the sun for long periods of time as this can cause damage to the toy.
