How do y'all...

Wash/clean stuffed animals? I am 99.9% sure that's what's causing my DS's allergies. He "needs" to sleep with 12 (all in their proper place). And now his hypoallergenic pillow is worthless. 

I'm thinking of getting a 'net' to hang above, but I'd like to clean them first. I've read conflicting things. And the "teddy needs a bath" only holds one animal. TIA

If it's a lovey, put in a pillow case, secure with hair tie, do a hot wash and dry on low.

PS - If you do it my way the fur/hair/fuzz won't get all wonky.  Just sayin'.

Use the vac cleaner on them if they're not soiled.

What I want to know is what she devil bitch designed build a bears with their god damn music boxes and non wash capability. spot clean is bullshit. i hate you build a bear. HATE.

On a similar note, DD2's Gentle Giraffe has instructions to spot-clean only.  Uh, fuck that shit.  The sound box is removable and DD2 put poop on the giraffe the other day.  POOP.

Into the pillow case and straight the fuck into the washer.  Fuck the instructions.

Layer the animal with baking soda and let sit. Wipe and vacuum off. Throw it in the dryer. The heat kills dust mites.

Does this also work for Beanie baby type animals?
