Caring for Your Plush Pal
To keep your plush friend looking its best, proper care is important. Our plush toys are designed for ages 3 and up. They may contain small parts. For cleaning, we recommend spot cleaning. Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the soiled area. Then, air dry the toy completely. Avoid machine washing. This can damage the stuffing or fabric. It can also affect the shape of the plush.
Regular fluffing can also help maintain its shape. A gentle shake can redistribute the stuffing. This keeps it soft and huggable. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods. This prevents fading of colors. With a little care, your plush dog will remain a cherished companion for years.
