Your Puffy Bear deserves the best care
Puffy Bear plushies are handmade with love and high-quality materials. With the right care, your Puffy Bear will stay soft, cuddly, and in great shape for years. In this guide we explain how to care for your handmade plush so it lasts a lifetime.
Regular cleaning: keep your Puffy Bear looking its best
Surface cleaning (recommended every 2–3 weeks)
For everyday care, surface cleaning is usually enough:
- ✨Gentle brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and keep the fur fluffy.
- 🫧Damp cloth: For small stains, use a lightly damp cloth with warm water and mild soap. Gently dab the area.
- 🌿Air dry: Let it dry completely in the open air, avoiding direct sunlight.
Deep cleaning (only when needed)
If your Puffy Bear needs a deeper clean:
- Hand wash: Fill a basin with warm water and mild soap or a gentle detergent for delicates.
- Soak and gently rub: Submerge the plush and gently rub the dirtiest areas. Do not wring the plush.
- Rinse: Rinse with clean water until all soap is gone.
- Drying: Press gently with a towel to remove excess water. Lay flat to air dry, turning occasionally.
Care for interchangeable outfits
Puffy Bear's outfits also need special care:
- 🧼Hand wash: Wash clothing separately in cold water with mild soap.
- 📏Lay flat to dry: Lay garments flat to keep their shape.
- 🧷Ironing: If needed, iron inside out on low heat to protect details.
- 🧺Storage: Fold outfits and store them in a dry place to avoid wrinkles and misshaping.

When not in use, follow these tips:
- 🏡Cool, dry place: Avoid humidity and excessive heat that can harm the stuffing.

- 🧸In a natural position: Don't compress it in small spaces to preserve its original shape.
- 🧵Breathable fabric bag: For long-term storage, use a fabric bag (not plastic) to protect from dust.

How often should I clean my Puffy Bear?
A surface cleaning every 2–3 weeks is usually enough. Deep cleaning only when necessary.
Can I put it in the washing machine on a delicate cycle?
Better not. The washing machine can deform the stuffing and damage the structure. If you need a deep clean, choose hand washing.
How do I prevent it from losing its shape?
Store it in a natural position, without compressing it, and avoid heat/humidity. If needed, you can add a bit of hypoallergenic stuffing.
