How To Wash Cuddly Toys Safely
It’s very common to see little ones running around with their favourite stuffed animals, and it’s a lovely sight to see. There comes a time when their beloved friend needs to be washed. It can be quite the process to get the soft toy away from your kiddo, but it needs to be done. Here’s how to wash cuddly toys without making your child wait too long to snuggle and play with their furry friend again.
 

Decide how to wash the cuddly toy

Machine wash or hand wash? If you are going to machine wash, it’s essential to read the label on the stuffed animal to see if there are any restrictions or guidelines. Look and see if it can handle a machine wash. You can follow these three simple steps if you decide to handwash the toy.

Choose detergent wisely 

When washing your child’s toy, it may be wise to think of the child. You would never use harsh or chemical infested detergent on your kid’s clothes, so why would you use it on their toys? It is smart to use a non-bio detergent due to its gentleness. Our detergent, Laundry Lover would do this job perfectly. If you are unsure what’s best for the toy, you can look at our non-bio versus bio detergent blog for “3 Things You Should Look Out For in Baby Laundry Detergent.

1. Gather your materials

The first step in this process is to gather the bowl, detergent, and drying towel. You will put the necessary amount of liquid laundry detergent into the bowl and then add lukewarm water. Mix until the water is soapy.

2. Soak the toy

Once the water is nice and soapy, start gently washing the toy in the bowl. It’s important to massage the soapy water into the toy to ensure it’s getting the stains out. Once this is complete, squeeze the excess water out of the toy. Do this as many times as necessary until you see the toy getting cleaner and the water grubbier!

3. Rise and dry

After you’ve cleaned the cuddly toy and see a noticeable difference, it’s important to rinse out the cuddly toy and then let it air dry on the towel. It’s crucial to let the toy air dry because the machine dryer could harm the toy, and we don’t want that for your kiddos.

Once the toy is nice and dry, the cuddly toy is as good as new, and your little one can play with their beloved friend again!
