Cleaning fragile plush
hiii im looking for some advice on how to go about sanitizing/trying to gently wash my very frail polar bear. I’ve had him since I was 1, im 24 now. I used to throw him in the washing machine over a decade ago (lol) but I fear he wouldn’t survive that anymore and he’s very overdue for a bath.
Parts of his face/paws are down to the last layer of fabric and he has holes in his paws that are poorly sewn shut. He has hard dirt caked onto his nose and very weird hard staining on his mouth?
I got some fabric spray for him but all that’s really gonna do is make him smell a little fresh. He is quite disgusting and I would really like to get him looking a little better. Is there any hope for him? 😩😭 I’ve tried phasing him out of my nightly sleep but he’s been my comfort item my whole life. My prized possession if you will, and he disgusts me :(
(his name is mr polar bear, obvi)
