We were big on stuffed animals in my house :) LovelyPlum on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1474440 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:53:50 +0000 LovelyPlum 1474440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @lawbee11: nice! I like that. @JerricaBenton: I'm glad to hear this! I really want to get a Jellycat, but I was scared away by the prospect of not being able to wash it. @ALV91711: I anticipate this being my reality-turning around and having the dog with the baby's toys, and the baby with the dog's. Knowing my dog, it's bound to happen sooner or later, so I figure I might as well think ahead on it! :) mediagirl on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1474422 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:50:58 +0000 mediagirl 1474422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've only washed them when they got throw up on them (yay!)

He holds on to it and chews on all the parts, and has dropped it a few times. I still haven't washed it yet bc it says "don't wash". I do wipe it down with a wipe, but that doesn't clean out the drool/slober he puts on the interior from chewing on it. Looks like I can throw it in the washer! Will be doing that this weekend!

Then i wash if they fall on the ground outside or in public or if the dog gets to one. LO's favorites are jellycats and I wash them all the time and they come out good as new. I wash them in lingerie bags on hand wash cycle. I air dry and might put them in the dryer for 10 minutes to fluff back up. I also wash Disney dolls and blabla dolls and they've always come out fine.

I don't ever remember PLAYING with a stuffed animal. They just sort of sat in my room. and I definitely never took any outside or had any that were visibly dirty.

Other than that I don't wash them, unless they really needed to be, then I'd throw them in. autumnlove on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1473967 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:52:58 +0000 autumnlove 1473967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @septca: I'm going to try this when they get dirty!

I saw this bag for washing stuffed animals on Shark Tank that I plan to get. It's called "Teddy Needs a Bath." They also make strawberry cotton candy dryer sheets...totally getting those, too! <a href="http://www.gundstore.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gundstore.com/</a> chopsuey on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1473788 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:25:03 +0000 chopsuey 1473788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ when they start looking grubby.

Doesn't happen too often though. coopsmama on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1473732 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:18:07 +0000 coopsmama 1473732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've never washed his stuffed animals. septca on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1473726 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:17:09 +0000 septca 1473726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @spaniellove: Pillow cases!

Otherwise, they get naaaaasty. @septca: ooh, good to know! I'm thinking we may get him/her one and just wash it anyways when necessary. @Mae: LOL, it never occurred to me that they *couldn't* be washed! We dragged ours everywhere and would put our mouths on them, and they were so gross. When I saw that they made some that couldn't be washed, my thought was "what the heck? What good is that??"

They always turn out fine! (This sounds gross but she's almost 7 and has had some of the same toys since the day we got her...) And I know there is some kind of bag you can use to wash stuffed animals if you're unsure? septca on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1473670 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:07:22 +0000 septca 1473670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I wash DD's Wubanubs every single time I do laundry - she chews on the legs and they are *disgusting.* FWIW, I have also washed Jellycats and dolls... for more sensitive things, I put them in a pillow case, close the pillow case with a hair band, and then throw that in the wash. Then I put them in the dryer (still in the pillow case) on low until damp and let air dry the rest of the way. The Wubanubs go in a lingerie bag and then don't go into the dryer. I have a front loader, so there is no agitation. (I also wash cashmere and washed my wedding dress in the washing machine. I am a rebel when it comes to laundry. :grin: ) autumnlove on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1473664 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:04:56 +0000 autumnlove 1473664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't Mae on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1473654 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:03:30 +0000 Mae 1473654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't have a LO yet, but following bc I didn't know that stuffed animals could be washed?! I don't think my mom ever washed mine lol. LovelyPlum on "How often do you wash your LO's stuffed animals?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-los-stuffed-animals#post-1473641 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 13:01:39 +0000 LovelyPlum 1473641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Growing up, my mom would throw them in the wash probably once a month, and anytime we were sick. I'm curious what others do, though, especially with the ones you're not technically supposed to machine wash. We really want to get our LO a Jellycat as a first Easter present, but they can't be washed, right? Would the inability to wash a stuffed animal dissuade you from buying it?
