How To Clean Stuffed Animals – A Dry Cleaners Guide #laundry

Recently I was tasked with cleaning these stuffed animal puppies, here is how I did it:

1) pretreated the entire stuffed animal with warm water with a few drops of Dawn dish soap mixed in (I recommend 2 drops per cup of water)
2) sprayed an enzymatic stain remover and worked it in with a brush. Let this treatment sit on the stains for at least 15 minutes before washing
3) cleaned the stuffed animals by hand in a bucket with a few drops of laundry detergent
4) soaked them in hot water and powdered oxygen bleach overnight (ideal water temp is 140 F / 60 C)
5) rinsed them
6) squeezed as much water as possible out and then squeezed them with a towel, then air dried
7) brush the fur a bit

Hope this helps!
