Better clean and a little beat up, than germy and good looking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-second-handor-dirty-cloth-soft-toys#post-2396020 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 15:34:17 +0000 bebe211 2396020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just throw them in the washing machine but hang dry - they get chewed on dropped and thrown all over the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-second-handor-dirty-cloth-soft-toys#post-90751 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:21:33 +0000 heffalump 90751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually just surface wipe really good. I follow the directions for fear of ruining the toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-second-handor-dirty-cloth-soft-toys#post-90748 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:20:03 +0000 cranberryapple 90748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently purchased a couple of second hand soft cloth stuffed toys, like this: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lamaze-Play-Freddie-Firefly-Along/dp/B000I2Q0F4/ref=sr_1_7?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1331323723&#038;sr=1-7" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Lamaze-Play-Freddie-Firefly-Along/dp/B000I2Q0F4/ref=sr_1_7?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1331323723&#038;sr=1-7</a> . Sorry! I don't know what they are called! :D I was wondering how I should go about cleaning them since the ones I see in the store in their original packaging say to surface clean/wipe and to not immerse in water/machine wash. What I really wanna do is throw it in the washer and wash with hot water, but I'm wondering whether this will ruin the toys or make them unsafe somehow? I'm kinda a germaphobe and don't really think "surface wiping" will do! =P Any insights? </p>
