Buy a bag of big salt, that is, coarse salt. Put the coarse salt and dirty plush toys in a larger plastic bag. Then shake the bag tightly. In a few minutes, you will find that the plush toys are clean. Then the plush dude can be removed from the bag and the dust and crude salt left behind can be removed with a soft brush. For those large pieces of ash, we can use the power of the vacuum cleaner.

(2) Washing

For small toys, we can first use tape to stain parts that are afraid of wear and tear, then put them directly into the washing machine to wash, shake, hang the shade to dry thoroughly, and pat the toys intermittently to make their fur, fillings fluffy and soft.

Then for large toys, we can find filling seams, cut seams, take out fillers, special parts can not be taken, with tape to wear parts, put the toy skin into the washing machine, gently wash, dry, hang in the shade, and intermittently pat toys, make their fur, fillers fluffy, soft. Then the filler is put into the toy skin, shaping and stitching. Then use the comb gently along the direction of the plush carding finalization.
