Machine Wash Your Teddy Bear
This article will teach you how to give your teddy bear a good, fresh wash.
Steps
- Remove any clothes or accessories currently on your bear.
- Spray all faux fur with a bear stain remover spray, and brush thoroughly. This spray is available at most stuffed animal stores and sells for about ten US dollars.
- Let sit for a few minutes.
- To ensure your bear is safe, wash them with clothes with similar colors (eg: You wouldn't want your fluffy white bear to become grey when pairing it with black articles, would you?) in a washer.
- Wash for about forty minutes or one hour.
- Brush before drying in a dryer, again with the clothes. Add a fabric softener sheet or two, to make your bear smell like it trampled in fresh, dew dropped flowers! Dry for thirty to forty minutes.
- Brush once more, and give your friend a new outfit to wear.
- Appreciate all the work you've done to make your bear smell, look, and feel fresh, pair that with a warm hug and you and your bear will be as happy as ever!
Tips
- DO NOT USE HEAT WHEN DRYING FAUX FUR! IT WILL MELT!
- Let the bear sit overnight before washing, in a pillowcase tied up with a rubber band.
Warnings
- Never put bleach into the machine when washing your bear.
- Don't injure your stuffed buddy!
