How do I wash a long haired toy? Tips for cleaning plush toys How to clean plush toys

When washing toys made from artificial or real hair, use gentle shampoos, rinses, and air drying. It is worth mentioning that curly hair will definitely not be able to regain its tidiness after washing; The same goes for faux fur, so washing such toys should be avoided unless it is very necessary. If you know in advance that the hair of the toy is made of real head or mohair, it is better not to wash it unless you can re-style the doll, and you can use a comb to comb the wig to deal with the tangled hair, and the hair made of yarn should be washed with a special detergent for washing wool.

If the long-haired toys do not shed hair and the volume is not very large, they can be washed directly in the washing machine, and I wash the children's toys normally.

1. Dry cleaning coarse salt suction: buy a large package of salt, that is, coarse salt, put the coarse salt and the dirty plush toy into a larger plastic bag, and then tie the bag tightly and shake it vigorously, you will definitely find that the plush toy has become clean. The coarse salt removed turns grayish-black due to the adsorption of dirt.

The principle is to use the adsorption effect of table salt, i.e., sodium chloride, on dirt. Baking soda can also be used instead of kosher salt, and the same is true for usage. This method is more suitable for large plush toys and plush toys that can make sounds and cannot be washed.

Detergent to wipe: Buy a cleaner specifically for plush toys, use a soft sponge or a clean, dry cloth, wipe the surface with a diluted neutral detergent, and then wipe it again with water. Specialist dry clean:

You can send the plush toys directly to the dry cleaners or to the plush doll store for professional cleaning and dry cleaning.

2. Hand washing: Hand wash plush toys can prepare a basin filled with water, pour in the cleaning agent and stir until completely dissolved, put the plush toys into it by hand and squeeze it by hand to integrate the cleaning agent, and then pour out the sewage and then rinse the plush toys with clean water, wrap the plush toys with a clean dry cloth for a few minutes, absorb part of the water, and then dry it, or let it sunbathe is also a good way, if you want to use the washing machine to spin dry, pay attention to wrap the toy with a towel and then gently dehydrate.

3. Washing machine cleaning: small toys can be taped with tape to the parts that are afraid of wear, directly put into the washing machine to wash softly, spin dry, hang in a cool place to dry, and intermittently pat the toy to make its fur and filling fluffy and soft. Large toys can find filling seams, cut the stitches, take out the filler (acrylic cotton), special parts can not be taken (better to maintain the appearance), use tape to dip the parts that are afraid of wear, put the toy skin into the washing machine to wash softly, spin dry, hang in a cool place to dry, and intermittently pat the toy to make its fur and filling fluffy and soft.

Then the filling is placed into the toy skin, shaped, and stitched. Then use a comb to gently comb along the path of the plush. Although washing does not completely change the plush toy from the old to the new, it is much better than before.

If you wash with water, you can add a little fabric softener when you wash it for the last time, so that you can keep the plush soft and lint-free!

Plush toys can generally be used directly after buying them home, and there is no special way to use them. However, it is recommended that parents should clean the toys once after buying them back and then give them to their babies. Below, I will introduce two cleaning methods:

First method:

For plush toys that can be cleaned, first add detergent to the basin, and flush in some water, stir the water in the basin with a general soft brush to stir up rich foam, and then use a soft brush to brush the surface of the plush toy with foam, be sure to pay attention not to get too much water on the brush. After brushing the surface of the plush toy, wrap the plush toy with a bath towel and put it in a basin filled with clean water to remove the dust and washing liquid from the plush toy. Then soak the plush toy in a basin of water with fabric softener for a few minutes, and then press and wash it several times in a basin filled with clean water until the water in the basin turns from turbid to clear.

Wrap the cleaned plush toy in a bath towel and put it in the washing machine to dehydrate, and the dehydrated plush toy will be shaped and combed and placed in a ventilated place to dry, and the plush toy will be like new again.

The second method:

Buy a packet of large grains of salt, that is, coarse salt, and then put the coarse salt and the dirty plush toy into a plastic bag, then tie the mouth of the bag tightly and shake it vigorously dozens of times. I found that the stuffed animal had become clean. The coarse salt removed turns grayish-black due to the adsorption of dirt.

The principle of this trick is to use the adsorption effect of table salt, i.e. sodium chloride, on dirt. Small things such as plush collars and plush cushions in the car can also be "washed" in this way. At the same time, salt plays a bactericidal role.
