I Cleaned My 23 Year Old Favourite Plushie
I wanted to make this post for anyone who might be worried about cleaning their favourite plushies.
I made the decision to clean mine and as a result, cleaning and bringing plushies back to life became a little hobby of mine. I hand washed her just once to see how she would handle it and gave her a brush for the first time. Then I put her in the washing machine twice and took a few photos while she was drying, whilst also brushing her out as she was drying. I was so emotional seeing her ginger colour coming back and actually being able to see her tabby stripes again

It Was So Hard To Find The Motivation
Data1001 10 months ago
Sometimes you've got to just say, "I'm going to clean for ONE minute." Then often, you will find that you're still cleaning after several minutes have gone by, and if you make enough progress, it'll spur you on to keep cleaning. It's when you start thinking about how much work it will take to do the entire thing, that it becomes too daunting to even begin. So just do the 'one minute' trick. And even if that one minute doesn't lead to 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes, keep doing one more minute every few days. At least it'll start to make a dent!

After letting everything sit for an hour, a lot of the filth was lifted to the surface. I used a scrub brush to clean the crevices and the dirt came off just like using a hot knife through butter. I highly recommend using this non-toxic cleaning method.
