Remember: It can also be used for plush toys, fur collars and cuffs of different lengths; it can also be used for the seat cushion of the car (pour the salt on the mat to force it).
Principle: The use of salt, that is, sodium chloride, on the adsorption of dirt, because of the strong disinfection effect of salt, not only cleans the toy but also effectively kills bacteria and viruses. It can be said that small things like plush collars and plush cushions in the car can also be “cleaned” in this way.Method 2: Required materials: water, silky detergent, soft brush (or other tools can be used instead)
Put water and silky detergent in the basin, stir the water in the basin with a normal soft brush or other tools to stir the rich foam, then use a soft brush to stain the surface of the plush toy with foam. Be careful not to get too much moisture on the brush. After brushing the surface of the plush toy, wrap the plush toy in a bath towel and put it in a basin filled with water.

The toy is then soaked in a water bath filled with softener for a few minutes, and then washed several times in a basin filled with water until the water in the basin becomes clear from the turbidity. The cleaned plush toys are still wrapped in bath towels, gently dehydrated in a washing machine, and the dehydrated plush toys are shaped and combed and placed in a ventilated place to dry.

Sun exposure is the simplest and most labor-saving method of cleaning plush toys. Ultraviolet rays can effectively kill some invisible bacteria and ensure the basic hygiene of the plush toys. However, it should be noted that this method is only suitable for the lighter color of the plush, because the fabric and material are different, and some may be easily faded. When it is exposed to the sun, it should be placed outdoors. If the sunlight is irradiated through the glass, it will not function as any sterilization. It is very good to take the plush toys out to the outside.[Disinfection method]
The longer the plush toy, the more bacteria there are on the surface and inside, and the cleaning effect can’t be achieved by simply washing with water. At this point, it is necessary to put a proper amount of detergent in the water for disinfection. At the same time as washing, we can add appropriate amount of washing powder or laundry detergent for disinfection to achieve antibacterial and anti-mite functions.
During the drying process after disinfection and washing, it is necessary to intermittently beat the plush toy to make the surface and the filling fluffy and soft, and restore the shape before washing.
