However, you can clean them completely safely, keeping them fluffy if you follow the proper steps.In this article, we are going to introduce how to wash Jellycat stuffed animals step-by-step. Why You Should NEVER Put a Jellycat in the Dryer All fluffy Jellycats are made of high-density ultrafine polyester fibers. When heat from a high-temperature dryer is applied, these fibers will melt, shrink, and become stiff like felt. The official Jellycat Safety &amp; Care page clearly prohibits this with &#8220;do not tumble dry.&#8221; There is also a risk that the plastic eyes will get scratched or the weights (pellets) inside will deform due to the heat. Things You Have to Check Before You Start Washing Your Jellycat Check the laundry tags: Jellycat plush toys have different types of laundry tags depending on the series and when they were produced.For example, some allow &#8220;machine wash under 30\u00b0C (gentle\/hand wash cycle),&#8221; while others are &#8220;surface wash only.&#8221; Always check the tag on the seam near their bottom. Check the condition of the materials inside: Check if there are open seams or loose threads (if you put it in water, the hole will get bigger and the cotton stuffing will come out). Also, toys with sound mechanics or music boxes inside must never be submerged in water. Color fading test: For characters with vivid colors (such as red, dark pink, or black), you need to check in advance by lightly rubbing them with a wet white cloth to ensure the color won&#8217;t bleed. Step-by-Step Jellycat Washing Process Basic Rule: Lukewarm Water (Under 30\u00b0C\/86\u00b0F) + Mild DetergentNever use hot water.

Organic solvents used in dry cleaning also damage the fabric, so it is officially prohibited. FAQs Q: Is a washing machine really forbidden?A: If the tag says &#8220;30\u00b0C Wash,&#8221; it is possible. Make sure to put it in a laundry net (or pillowcase) and wash with a &#8220;delicate\/hand wash cycle&#8221; plus &#8220;cold water.&#8221; Don&#8217;t wash it with other clothing because friction will cause lint balls.Q: Is it possible to fix fur that is already matted?A: If it was melted by heat, it cannot be restored. However, if it&#8217;s just stiff due to built-up dirt or fabric softener, the softness can be restored to some extent by soaking it in lukewarm water mixed with a small amount of silicone-containing hair conditioner, rinsing thoroughly, and then blow-drying on cool while brushing. Conclusion Washing your Jellycat can feel a bit nerve-wracking, but as long as you follow the golden rules\u2014avoiding high heat and brushing while wet\u2014you can keep that adorable fluffiness and cleanliness forever! Jellycats are premium plushies, so it would be heartbreaking if they got ruined. But don&#8217;t worry, as long as you stick to the rules and take good care of them, they will stay soft and clean for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Wash a Jellycat Safely Without Ruining Its Soft Fur - The Soft Toy Clinic<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Worried about losing that signature Jellycat softness?
