Product Care

Plush animals can take a lot of abuse and can also breed bacteria and other nastiness.

To keep them looking (and smelling) their best, give them a good shake and brush them with a regular pet brush.

They can be placed in a plastic bag with cornflour - shaken, removed and then dusted off to remove light dust and dirt. Be mindful not to add water during this procedure. Dry shampoo may work as well. 

Deal with a spill immediately. Shake the toy outside or over a towel and then use a damp sponge to blot or cloth to wipe any leftover residue away. Finish by blotting with a dry towel. Repeat as necessary.

Our furry friends can also be thrown into a washing machine. Best is to use a low temperature on a gentle cycle. Use a wool or hypoallergenic washing detergent. Putting the toy inside the leg of a pair of women’s nylon hose, a pillowcase, or a laundry bag will protect your washing machine from any stray fur.

Leave out in the sun to dry.

Of course, our plush toys can also be dry-cleaned.

Cleaning of weighted plush animals:

For weighted plushies we recommend spot cleaning as the safest method. Mix a small drop of mild soap or baby shampoo with lukewarm water. Dip a soft cloth, wring it out well, and gently dab the stain from the outside in. Wipe away soap residue with a second cloth dampened with clean water. Pat dry with a towel.

For severe stains and smell, we recommend washing by hand. Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge the plush and gently squeeze the fabric without aggressive scrubbing or twisting. Rinse thoroughly with clean, cool water to remove all soap. Press out extra water using a clean towel (do not wring).
