How do you wash electronic stuffed toys?

Question

my children have several toys that are plush but take batteries (they walk, sing, ....) My children love these toys and I do not want to throw them away but they are in great need of a bath. Is there any way to do this? Some of them have stains ect....

Answer 1

use a washcloth or towel, dip in hot water with a little detergent.  drop of bleach to disinfect.

Answer 2

Don't get them overly wet as the electronics will no longer work. I would try the spray upholstery cleaner on an old plush toy to see how that works first. Spray it on and brush with a nail brush or old toothbrush, let dry and vacuume.

Answer 3

spot clean them like get some oxy clean and a bowl of water and mix the oxi clean in the water and get 3 wash towels and clean the stain or spots  and them wipe the excess soulution with another rag, and then once you have cleaned the stuffed toy rince the thing the same way with just  water and keep the excess moisture blotted with a rag  , or if you can disconnected the electronic thing  which some stuffed animals you can other you cant , if you can put the animal in a  pillow case and wash it on gentle cycle and air dry  if possible.... but if not spot clean is the only way . if you dont have oxi clean you can use like dawn or  even baking soda it works very very good as well ...Good Luck

Answer 4

If there are electronic connections the best way of cleaning and disinfection is to use a foam cleaner that is used to clean upholstery. This foamy cleaner can be used to spot clean the stains out. You might then want to let it dry NOT IN A DRYER. Then take a fabric softener sheet after the toys are clean and wipe wherever a nice clean smell would be appropriate.
