How to Dry Stuffed Animals

From part of your collection to loyal companion, stuffed animals are endeared by both young and old. If your favorite plush companion was caught outside in the rain or decided to jump in the bath with you, the residual dampness can make your stuffed animal not nearly as enjoyable to hug. Drying stuffed animals is a simple process that can protect you and your favorite toy from the potential hazard of mildew.
