How to clean crocheted toys?
Crocheted toys are not only beautiful and unique, but also durable when properly cared for.
Here are some practical tips to preserve their beauty and softness for a long time.
1. What are crocheted toys made of?
100% cotton yarn or soft plush yarn ensures pleasant touch and durability.
The filler is antiallergenic polyester.
They are made with safety eyes and embroidered details so that even the smallest can play with them.
2. How to clean crocheted toys?
Hand washing is recommended: Gently squeeze in lukewarm, soapy water, do not rub.
In the washing machine only with a gentle or hand wash program: it can be washed at 30°C, put in a laundry bag, on a low spin level.
Do not use strong chemicals! A gentle baby-friendly detergent or natural soap is the best choice.
3. Drying and shaping
Air dry, laying flat so that it does not deform.
Avoid drying on a radiator or in a tumble dryer, as the material may harden or collapse.
Gently adjust it back to its original shape while drying.
4. Storage tips
Keep in a ventilated, dry place to avoid mold.
If not to be used for a long time, put it in a textile bag or an air-permeable box.
With these simple steps, your crocheted figures will remain beautiful and soft for many years!
Bonus tip: if you're buying a toy for a tiny baby that you plan to use for a long time, it's worth buying two right away. :) It often happens that babies are very attached to a favorite item, so much so that they don't want to part with it even during washing.
It's worth keeping an extra favorite, not only for washing, but also in case the most feared toy gets lost somewhere.
