Washing Teddy BearsItalic text

Step One: Put your teddy bear in a bag, pillowcases are ideal and fasten your stuffed animal with a tie made of fabric. If it is long and sticking out of the knot, stick in inside the knot to stop it from getting caught in your Washing Machine.

Step Two: Place your stuffed animal inside and open your fabric softener dispenser. Fill 1/2 way with disinfectant to kill harmful bacteria and dilute with water another 1/2 way as the fabric could be ruined by the harsh chemicals.

Step Three: Get a whitening washing powder to brighten it up and give it a fresh, new look. Add another cap full of scented detergent of your choice (not too much!!!). Your stuffed animal will be scented however you want, Lemons, Blossoms, Sandalwood, there is a broad range of smells for your beloved toy.

Step Four: Close the lid and choose a gentle washing cycle, Wool is ideal. Press the 'start' button. Wash it for 40 - 45 minutes to give it a good but gentle scrub.

Step Five: Keep the toy in the pillowcase or washable bag and put it in the dryer. Choose a Delicate or Airing cycle because the fabric is very delicate. Press 'start' button and leave it.

Step Six: If your bear is still warm when it comes out, let it hang for a few minutes to cool. Otherwise, take it out of the bag, and love it.
