How to Put Beanie Babies in the Washer
- 1
  Gather your Beanie Babies, and place them inside a lingerie bag or a white pillowcase. Tie the bag or pillowcase shut. This will minimize possible damage to the Beanie Babies from being bounced around inside the washing machine.

  Using cold water, select the gentle cycle on your washing machine, and add enough gentle laundry detergent as is required for a small load. When the machine is about one-quarter filled with water, add the bag containing the Beanie Babies. Do not add fabric softener to the wash.

  As soon as the washing machine has stopped, remove the bag or pillowcase from the washer. Take the Beanie Babies out, and place them on a shelf or table to dry. Drying Beanie Babies into the dryer is not recommended.
