Can plush toys be washed in a washing machine?

Plush toys can be washed in a washing machine, but before putting them in the washing machine, if the toy has small parts such as battery boxes, they need to be removed first. In addition, in order to protect the shape of the toy and the internal fillings, you can choose to put the plush toy in a net bag or a special laundry bag before washing. 12

It is also important to choose the right washing mode in the washing machine. It is recommended to choose the hand wash mode or the gentle pre-wash mode, and avoid using the standard mode or the fast mode to avoid excessive impact on the plush toy. Add an appropriate amount of mild detergent and make sure the plush toy is fully dried to restore its fluffy and clean.

If there are electronic components or hard accessories inside the plush toy, it is not recommended to wash it with water, but dry cleaning or other gentle cleaning methods should be considered. For hand washing, you can use a mild detergent such as soapy water or baby shower gel, and gently rub and brush it, and then dry it.
