How to clean plush toys easily and effectively?

1. Adsorption dry cleaning using coarse salt: Materials needed: a bag of coarse salt (large grain salt) and a plastic bag Put the dirty plush toy into the plastic bag, put in the right amount of coarse salt, then tie the mouth and shake vigorously. After a few minutes, the toy will slowly clean up as the salt grains darken. The principle of this method uses the adsorption of salt, i.e. sodium chloride, to dirt. As salt has a strong disinfecting effect, it not only cleans the toy but also effectively kills bacteria and viruses.
2. Use detergent foam to brush the surface of the plush toy: Materials required: water, silk, and bristle detergent, soft brush (or other tools can be used instead). After brushing the surface of the plush toy, wrap the plush toy in a bath towel and place it in a basin full of water to pressure wash. This will remove any dirt and washing up liquid from the plush toy. Then soak the plush toy in a bowl of water with a softener for a few minutes and then pressure wash it several times in a bowl full of water until the water in the bowl becomes clear from cloudy. Wrap the cleaned plush toy, still in the bath towel, in the washing machine, and gently dehydrate. After dehydration, the plush toy is shaped and combed and then placed in an airy place to dry. Take care to dry them in a ventilated area. It is best not to expose them to the sun, and not to leave them untouched, as they cannot be sterilized and are prone to discoloration in the sun.
3. Use soda powder adsorption dry cleaning: more suitable for larger plush toys buy a packet of soda powder, put the soda powder and dirty plush toys into a large plastic bag, tie the bag tightly shake hard, will slowly find plush toys become clean. Eventually, the soda powder will turn greyish-black as it attracts dirt and grime, so remove and shake off the soda powder. This method is suitable for larger stuffed toys and stuffed toys that make noises.
4. Sterilised wash: more suitable for electronic and sound-emitting plush toys. To prevent the small accessories on the plush toy from wearing out, tape the parts of the plush toy with tape, put it in a laundry bag, and choose the knead wash method, tumble dry, and hang to dry in a cool place. When drying you can pat the plush toy to make the fur and stuffing fluffy and soft so that the shape of the plush toy is better restored to its original state after cleaning. We usually wash them in water with an appropriate amount of detergent to disinfect them. You can also add a suitable amount of washing powder or laundry detergent to the water wash for disinfection and antibacterial and anti-mite functions.
