Instructions
Wipe down your Beanie Baby with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or loose debris.
Dilute a small amount of liquid laundry detergent with water. The density of the detergent will determine how much you&'ll have to dilute. Obviously you&'ll need to use less of a super-ultra-concentrate formula than a regular one. When you swish the mixture around and you get a few suds on the surface, you&'re good. Lots of bubbles indicate too much detergent.
Using the soft cloth, apply the detergent/water mix to the Beanie Baby. Give it a good scrub to loosen any embedded grime.
Spot treat any stains with a spray carpet cleaner. Spray on a tiny amount (or apply with a cotton swab) and let sit for no longer than five minutes. Wipe off with a damp cloth or sponge. Remember, a little carpet cleaner goes a long way.
Towel him off with a dry towel or cloth. For most Beanie Babies the towel will be enough to fluff up the fur. If it needs more fluffing, brush the fabric with a bristle hair brush to give it some lift. For matted bits of fur use a plastic comb.
Have your Beanie Baby drycleaned if the grime is particularly stubborn.
