How to Wash a Ty Beanie Dog

When Ty Beanie Babies were all the rage in the late 1990s, some people -- mostly adults -- were fastidious in keeping their animals in mint condition; kids will be kids, though. When dealing with a soiled Beanie Baby dog, however, all is not lost. While washing the toys in the washing machine is okay, the company recommends washing them with warm water and gentle soap in order to protect their eyes and noses from damage.
