How to Clean the Flocking of My Little Pony

My Little Ponies are adorable toy ponies that have been around since the 1980s and are still being made for kids to enjoy today. Some My Little Ponies, such as the So Soft models, come with a fuzzy layer covering their plastic bodies known as flocking. Over time, the flocking on these ponies can get a dirty or dingy appearance, and cleaning should be done with extra care to ensure that you don't remove this soft flocking.

1 qt. water
1/2 tbsp. mild dishwashing soap
Spoon
