🧸Stuffie Care Tips!🧸

Keeping your stuffie friends clean, healthy and happy is super important, but can be very intimidating if you don't know how. A lot of people are afraid of messing up their beloved friends. Hopefully this post can help!

Tip 1: Lint rollers!

These are super cheap and easy to find at basically any store. They won't pull out your friends fur or hair, but they are great for removing loose dirt and dust. We recommend going over your stuffie friends with a lint roller at least once a week or after any trip out (especially during pollen season!) Make sure to get under their arms and behind their ears!

Tip 2: Unscented Wet Wipes

Scented ones work too, but we prefer unscented because of our sensitive skin. These are great for giving your stuffie friends a proper cleaning. We usually use 4-5 wipes for a standard 16 inch BAB plushie. Your stuffie should be damp after being thoroughly wiped down. We like to gently rub in circles all over their plush. After they've been cleaned make sure to use a towel to dry them. Most stuffies will be dry in just a few minutes! We recommend wiping your stuffie at least once a month, more often if they are going out on adventures or spending time around food and drinks!

Tip 3: Slicker Pet Brushes

These brushes are perfect for most stuffie friends, especially Build a Bears and other stuffies with straight fibers for fur/hair. They separate fibers and detangle easily. We like to brush against the direction the plush lays (against the grain) and then with the direction it lays (with the grain). Don't press too hard when using them. If you notice the brush is full of your stuffie friends fur/hair after brushing, stop using and refer to tip 4. These brushes can be found online and in most pet stores and sections.

Tip 4: Detangling Brushes

For stuffies with curly, textured, or older fur/hair, a detangler is the best option for brushing them (they're also great for human hair too!). See how the tines are different lengths? This helps detangle, but they're also soft plastic so they won't pull fur/hair out while brushing. If they snag on a knot the tines will bend and the knot will slip off without damaging or ripping anything out. We have a bear with loopy fibers mixed into his plush. A detangler keeps him soft and clean without damaging him at all. These brushes can be found online and in the human hair-care section of most stores that carry brushes.

Whether you use a slicker or a detangler, giving your stuffie friends a good brushing at least once a month (and after baths!) will help keep them soft, clean and happy!

How do you keep your plushies clean? I really messed up one a few years ago and I've been worried about it ever since

The ones I make or the ones on the shelves? Tbh I don't handle them much, I vacuum them off every so often so they don't gather dust.

Ones I handle more or have purchased/found that need cleaning/washing, I hand wash them in warm water with laundry soap and then put them in a pillow case in the washing machine to spin dry them. Then I air dry them the rest of the way and brush their fur to keep them nice! This should work fine with any of the plushies I make, too!

My favorite picture of my care bears collection. At the time i had about 370 care bears plushies. This pic is almost 4 years old now though and i REALLY want to do a full collection plushie photoshoot again sometime soon. I plan for my next post to be a bunch of pictures of the setup process for this pic, plus some goofy angles. :)

We gave Merlin a baking soda bath. Placed her in a ziplock bag with 1/2 cup baking soda and gave a good shake. We let her rest for a few minutes so the soda would have time to absorb oils and odors. We then brushed her with a slicker brush to make sure the baking soda was distributed all through her fur before taking a clean towel and gently massaging her all over. She didn't need much since she was fairly clean and really just needed some oils from our lotion to be absorbed. Once we were satisfied that she was clean, we vacuumed the baking soda out of her fur and gave her a brushing with a clean brush. She smells amazing and feels nice, clean and soft soft soft!
