By Tracie Knight


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 it is dirty, check if the toy has some care instructions from its manufacturer on the label. One needs to follow the instructions as they are the proper things you have to do. The care instruction differ depending upon the materials they are made of. Some have fur coat which is made using materials that are synthetic like a polyester. Some also have natural materials like a wool which covers its 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 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 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.

To wash toys on the washing machine needs to be the last option. Check its label again if you could have them wet. There are some of it that get damaged when it get wet so be sure to check that. If you really have to, place all of them one at a time in a pillow case. Use a safety pin to close that pillow case. Wash it on a delicate cycle mode. Add a little fabric conditioner so they would have fluffy coat.

Dry them using a hair dryer. It is best to use a hair dryer rather than your clothes dryer since your stuffed things are really sensitive. You should also be careful not to get them to be too close to the hair dryer. If you do not have a dryer, you can just let it dry on air. It will just take you several days to get them dried but that would be that best option if you do not want them to be 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.
