Explaining Dare's Stuffed Animal Cleaning

2025年11月25日 16:37

Stuffed animals are precious family members that are always by our side, through both happy and sad times! I'm sure many people talk to them every day with that feeling in mind. It is natural for such stuffed animals to get dirty. In fact, the more you hug and cherish them every day, the more likely they are to get dirty with grime and the like. Please leave the cleaning of stuffed animals that are too large to wash at home to us. Dare will gently hand-wash them with the foam of natural soap.

Do stuffed animals really need to be washed?

Stuffed animals collect dust just by being on display, and they get dirty quickly because they are often touched by human hands. Sometimes you might notice an odor when you hug them tightly, or they might get covered in a baby's drool. Please be sure to hand-wash small stuffed animals frequently at home. For stuffed animals that cannot be washed, please leave them to Dare.

Introducing the flow of Dare's stuffed animal cleaning!

A common concern for customers who entrust us with their stuffed animals is, "How is my little one being washed? Are they being handled roughly?" We would like to introduce the flow of Dare's stuffed animal cleaning, so please take a look.

Inspection to check the condition and dirt!

We always inspect every stuffed animal that arrives. Even stuffed animals that have been treated with care may have damaged fabric or parts that the customer is unaware of, so we thoroughly check their condition during inspection before starting the hand-washing process.

They get a shower with warm, cozy water

We shower the entire stuffed animal so that the negative ion soft water penetrates thoroughly. By letting the warm water reach not just the surface but also the stuffing inside, it becomes easier to remove sweat stains that have soaked in. Negative ion soft water is highly effective at removing dirt that is charged with positive ions, such as human sebum, so this shower process is also very important. ♪

We hand-wash with 100% natural soap

Dare's stuffed animal cleaning uses 100% natural soap, which is safe for babies and those with sensitive skin. We do not use any synthetic detergents at all, and it is safe even if it gets in your mouth. Natural soap is often thought to have weak cleaning power, but the soap made by our craftsmen has high cleaning effects and thoroughly removes dirt such as sweat, sebum, and food spills. Combined with negative ion soft water, we wash them carefully with fluffy foam and soft brushes without putting a burden on the stuffed animal.

After this, we let them rest for a while while covered in foam so that the soap solution penetrates into the stuffing. Just like soaking laundry, allowing the soap solution to penetrate deep into the fibers makes it easier for the dirt in the stuffing to come out.

Rinsing is done thoroughly in two stages!

After the craftsman confirms that the dirt has been removed, we begin the rinsing process. First, we hand-wash with plenty of warm water and check the condition of the dirt. Next, we use a "rinse-spin dryer" specifically for stuffed animals to carefully rinse and spin-dry while protecting the stuffed animal.

While rinsing with plenty of water, the centrifugal force simultaneously flings out the soap solution. This process is essential for discharging the foam that has penetrated into the stuffing and the soap solution in which the dirt has dissolved, leaving them clean. Please rest assured that the stuffed animals will not be damaged even when placed in the machine.

We dry them using natural air drying

To prevent shrinkage and loss of shape, Dea naturally air-dries cleaned stuffed animals in a temperature-controlled drying room. Large stuffed animals can sometimes take up to three weeks to dry. Drying them at home is difficult, and if they remain damp, it can cause mold. While small stuffed animals can be air-dried in the shade, a recommended way to check if they are dry is to place them in a Ziploc bag, seal it, and see if the inside fogs up. It is safer to leave large stuffed animals to the professionals.

We brush them to smooth out the fur

Once thoroughly dried, stuffed animals become truly fluffy and light! We brush their fur to smooth it out, thinking, "You'll be seeing your family soon!" before delivering them back to our customers.

Anti-mite and antibacterial processing options are also available

Stuffed animals are sometimes hugged tightly by small children, aren't they? It's scary to think about mites being in such toys, but since mites love fabric products, they can infest stuffed animals, carpets, rugs, and sofas.

Peace of mind with anti-mite processing!

At Dea, we offer anti-mite processing that is safe for the human body. We do not use insecticides, but rather agents with a repellent effect that keeps mites away, which are safe enough to be used on bedding. The effect lasts for about 6 months to 1 year, and the processing can be done at the same time as cleaning.

Antibacterial processing also helps prevent mold

Dea's antibacterial processing for stuffed animals is effective against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, MRSA, Bacillus cereus, and more. It suppresses the growth of bacteria, which also helps prevent mold. We use agents that have passed safety tests, so they are skin-friendly and safe to use. (The effect lasts for about 6 months to 1 year.)

We will take great care of your cherished stuffed animals!

Some people may feel hesitant about sending in stuffed animals that are full of memories for cleaning. At Dea, we provide safe, secure, and uncompromising cleaning services so that such customers can entrust their items to us with peace of mind. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
