San-X Sumikkogurashi Tokage Bread Plush Care

Quick Answer

To keep your San-X Sumikkogurashi Tokage with Bread plush soft and clean, spot clean first, wash gently by hand in cold water, air dry flat, and fluff with a soft brush after drying.

How to Care for Your Tokage with Bread Plush

1. Spot clean stains immediately: Use a damp, soft cloth with a tiny drop of mild detergent to gently dab the stained area. Avoid rubbing, which can push the stain deeper or damage the fabric. Rinse the cloth and dab again to remove soap residue. Check for colorfastness by testing on a hidden area first.
2. Hand wash in cold water: Fill a basin with cold water and a small amount of gentle detergent. Submerge the plush and gently squeeze the water through the fabric. Do not wring or twist the plush, as this can distort its shape. Never use hot water, which can shrink or damage the fabric.
3. Rinse thoroughly and press out excess water: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cold water. Gently press the plush under the water to rinse out all detergent. After rinsing, press the plush between clean towels to absorb excess water. Do not wring. Residual soap can attract dirt, so rinse until the water runs clear.
4. Air dry flat in a shaded area: Lay the plush on a dry towel on a flat surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Reshape the plush with your hands while it is damp. Allow it to dry completely, which may take 24-48 hours. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the fabric.
5. Fluff with a soft brush: Once completely dry, use a clean, soft-bristled brush (like a baby hairbrush) to gently brush the plush's fur in the direction of the pile. This restores softness and removes any remaining dust. Brush gently to avoid pulling out fibers.
