Today, houses and apartments are hard to imagine without soft toys. For adults, they are childhood memories, and for babies they are tender friends and reliable defenders. Children sleep with toys, feed them, have fun with them and gently press. But over time, the toys lose their original appearance and become less bright, clean and fresh.
Toys are made of various fabrics: fleece, plush, velor, faux fur and many others. Accordingly, the care of each fabric should be different, so before buying a toy, familiarize yourself with the possibility of washing it and cleaning it from dust.
But, in addition to dust, dust mites can also appear in toys. It is known that at temperatures below minus ten degrees, ticks die, therefore, you can put a toy freezer for a couple of days. Unusual, but very effective. By the way, with this procedure, the toy itself does not spoil a bit.
Toys can also be washed in the washing machine, if indicated on their tag. It is best to wash the toy in a delicate mode at a temperature of thirty-five degrees, without spinning, but with a rinse, so that eventually the powder does not remain on the toy.
So that the color of the toy does not change, you can add a little citric acid or vinegar, and use only one third of the detergent. In addition, it is best to use specialized powders for woolen products, as they are more loyal to the fabric. Bleach and bleach can not be used, because of them, the toy can shed.
It is best to dry the toy in limbo so that it does not lose shape.
But do not forget that there are knitted toys that are more difficult to dry and clean, since they sit on contact with water and are deformed when dried. Such toys are best dried in a flattened state on a towel, after rinsing and straightening them.
But what about those toys that do not fit into either the freezer or the washing machine? Dust can be removed from them with a vacuum cleaner with special nozzles designed for contact with upholstered furniture. You can also contact dry cleaners, because all of them have a toy cleaning service.
From time to time it is necessary to check the toy for broken seams and the reliability of fastening small parts. The toys inside consist of foam rubber, synthetic winterizer, plastic balls and much more, and children, curious and restless, like to see, get, taste.
