I have an old stuffed dog-like animal that's been sitting on a shelve for years. I have no use for it so I thought I would give it to my nephew (or at least give it to my SIL for use in her daycare). Problem is, it's full of dust and I'm not sure how to clean it.
I remember having a nice fluffy stuffed animal when I was a kid and after my mom washed it, it wasn't soft at all anymore. I think it might be because she put it in the dryer and the hair sort of melted together, but I'm not sure.
Does anyone have experience cleaning stuffed animals?
Mine is long-haired and made of polyester. Very soft and fluffy (but really smells like dust!)
Would it be alright to put it in the washing machine and then hang it to dry? (would the washing machine really rinse all the soap out of the stuffing??)
