Plush toys are very easy to get dirty. It seems that everyone will find it troublesome to clean and may throw them away directly. Here I’ll teach you some tips about cleaning plush toys.
Method 1: required materials: a bag of coarse salt (large grain salt) and a plastic bag
Put the dirty plush toy into a plastic bag, put an appropriate amount of coarse salt, and then tie your mouth and shake it hard. After a few minutes, the toy is clean, and we are looking at the salt has turned black.
Remember: it’s not washing, it’s sucking!! It can also be used for plush toys of different lengths, fur collars and cuffs
Principle: the adsorption of salt, namely sodium chloride, on dirt is used. Because salt has a strong disinfection effect, it can not only clean toys, but also effectively kill bacteria and viruses. You can draw inferences from one instance. Small things such as plush collars and plush cushions in cars can also be “cleaned” in this way.
Method 2: required materials: water, silk detergent, soft brush (or other tools can be used instead)
Put water and silk detergent into the basin, stir the water in the basin with a general soft brush or other tools to stir up rich foam, and then brush the surface of plush toys with foam with a soft brush. Be sure not to touch too much water on the brush. After brushing the surface of plush toys, wrap the plush toys with a bath towel and put them into a basin full of water for medium pressure washing.
In this way, the dust and detergent in plush toys can be removed. Then put the plush toy into a water basin with softener and soak it for a few minutes, and then wash it under pressure in a water basin full of clear water for several times until the water in the basin changes from muddy to clear. Wrap the cleaned plush toys with bath towels and put them into the washing machine for gentle dehydration. The dehydrated plush toys are shaped and combed and then placed in a ventilated place to dry.
Pay attention to drying in a ventilated place when drying. It’s best not to be exposed to the sun, and it can’t be done without drying, and it can’t be sterilized without drying; Exposed to the sun, it is easy to change color.
Method 3: it is more suitable for large plush toys
Buy a bag of soda powder, put the soda powder and dirty plush toys into a large plastic bag, fasten the mouth of the bag and shake it hard, you will slowly find that the plush toys are clean. Finally, the soda powder becomes grayish black due to dust adsorption. Take it out and shake it off. This method is more suitable for large plush toys and plush toys that can make sound.
Method 4: it is more suitable for plush toys such as electronics and vocalization
In order to prevent the small parts on the plush toys from wearing, stick the parts of the plush toys with adhesive tape, put them into the laundry bag and wash them by kneading and washing. After drying, hang them in a cool place to dry. When drying, you can pat the plush toy gently to make its fur and filler fluffy and soft, so that the shape of the plush toy will be better restored to its original state after cleaning.
We usually put an appropriate amount of detergent in clean water for disinfection when washing. At the same time of washing, you can also add an appropriate amount of washing powder or detergent to disinfect, so as to achieve the functions of antibacterial and mite prevention.
In addition to the above methods, other methods can be used for reference, such as:
[hand wash]
Prepare the washbasin to fill with water, pour in the detergent, stir it until it is completely dissolved, put the fluffy toy into it, squeeze it by hand to let the detergent melt in, then pour out the sewage, rinse it with clean water, wrap the fluffy toy with a clean dry cloth for a few minutes, absorb part of the water, and then dry it by air, or let it be made into sunlight is also a good way.
[machine wash]
Before washing directly in the washing machine, you need to put the plush toys into the laundry bag first. According to the general cleaning procedure, the effect of using cold detergent is better than that of washing powder, and it is less harmful to wool. It is also good to use general double effect shampoo. After washing, wrap it with a dry towel and then dehydrate it to avoid damaging the surface.
[wipe]
Use soft sponge or clean dry cloth, dip in diluted neutral detergent to wipe the surface, and then wipe it with clean water.
[dry cleaning]
You can send it directly to the dry cleaning shop for dry cleaning, or go to the plush doll store to buy a dry cleaning agent specially for cleaning plush dolls. First, spray the dry cleaning agent on the surface of the plush doll, and then wipe it with a dry cloth after twoorthree minutes
[solarization]
Insolation is the simplest and labor-saving method to clean plush toys. Ultraviolet rays can effectively kill some invisible bacteria and ensure the basic health status of plush toys. However, it should be noted that this method is only applicable to plush with relatively light color. Because of different fabrics and materials, some plush may fade easily. When drying, it should be placed outdoors. If the sun shines through the glass, it will not have any bactericidal effect. It’s very good to often take plush toys outside to bask in the sun.
[disinfection]
The longer the time is, the more bacteria exist on the surface and inside of plush toys. Washing with water alone cannot achieve the cleaning effect. At this time, it is necessary to put an appropriate amount of detergent in clean water for disinfection. At the same time of washing, we can add an appropriate amount of washing powder or detergent to disinfect, so as to achieve the functions of antibacterial and mite prevention.
In the process of drying after disinfection and washing, the plush toy must be patted intermittently to make its surface and filler fluffy and soft, and restore the shape before washing.
