Thanks to your wonderful YouTube Video on making repairs, I was able to hand clean, open up, clear out the stuffing, load new stuffing and sew back up with confidence! My 4 year old barely was able to part with Sandy long enough for me to clean/repair but now it’s all fixed up! Thank you ever so much!

Oh this is really lovely š
I have several boxes of old (and less old) stuffed animals that I want to donate to new homes, but they all need a cleaning first and I couldnāt figure out any places that would both accept old not-super-clean plushies AND refurbish them for donation haha. It would probably be super expensive to send them all off to someone to get them all cleaned up, so itās nice to know the āhowā of how it works and maybe slowly work on it on my own ^^
Also really nice to know for maintaining plushies I do want to keep, or new ones in the future! I have a little orange friend I picked up a few years back and I used to carry him around everywhere; then his primary character trait became that he was āstinky* and heās not allowed on any of the furniture anymore hahaha. So itād be nice to give him a bath in a way that isnāt just spot-cleaning with an almost-dry toothbrush, and maybe even give his liāl paws some beads.
