Pillow Pets are a popular plush toy that is often used as a pillow or a stuffed animal. They can get dirty over time, so it is important to know how to clean them properly.

How to Clean a Pillow Pet

Materials Needed

Before you begin cleaning your Pillow Pet, you will need the following materials:

  • Mild detergent
  • Warm water
  • A large sink or bathtub
  • A soft cloth
  • A dryer or a clothesline

Instructions

To clean your Pillow Pet, follow these steps:

1. Pretreat Stains

If your Pillow Pet has any stains, you should pretreat them before washing. To do this, apply a small amount of mild detergent to the stain and rub it in gently. Let the detergent sit on the stain for a few minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.

2. Wash the Pillow Pet

Once you have pretreated the stains, you can wash the Pillow Pet. Fill a large sink or bathtub with warm water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge the Pillow Pet in the water and gently swish it around. Be careful not to scrub the Pillow Pet too vigorously, as this could damage the fabric.

3. Rinse the Pillow Pet

Once the Pillow Pet is clean, rinse it thoroughly with warm water. Make sure to get all of the soap out of the fabric.

4. Dry the Pillow Pet

You can dry the Pillow Pet in a dryer on a low heat setting or you can hang it up to air dry. If you are drying the Pillow Pet in a dryer, be sure to remove it from the dryer before it is completely dry. This will prevent the fabric from shrinking.

5. Fluff the Pillow Pet

Once the Pillow Pet is dry, you can fluff it up by shaking it or by using a soft cloth to brush the fur.

Additional Tips

  • If your Pillow Pet is very dirty, you may need to wash it twice.
  • Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals to clean your Pillow Pet. These chemicals can damage the fabric.
  • If you are not sure how to clean your Pillow Pet, you can always consult the manufacturer's instructions.
