Does anyone know the best way to wash stuffed toys? Do I wash in hot or cold, do I spin or not spin?!! :confused: :confused:

Thanks heaps! :wave:

In cold water - it's best to hand wash and not submerge the toy. Use soapy water and a sponge/face cloth.

The ones of EJ's that are washable i've always just thrown them in with the normal washing and they've always come out fine :)

But most importantly: Don't let your kids see them hanging from the line by their ears. They will think you are waaay cruel! (I didn't trust Mum for some time!)
:yes:

LOL never thought of that!

I just throw mine in the wash on a normal cycle. But I only wash them on really hot days so that they will dry properly. :yes:

My DD has eczema so I wash to get rid of dust mites also. I freeze the toys for 24 hours then I wash them in the machine (if it says i can) or hand wash with some laundry liquid and eucalyptus oil (supposed dust mite killer). I dry them out in the sun. Freezing toys, machine washing them on 60 degrees and tumble drying them gets rid of dust mites. I don't have a dryer so I just hang them to dry.

I just throw mine in with our clothes on a regular wash. I don't line dry them though because the machine spins them out so good they are practically dry.
