Hey there! I'm a supplier of lavender stuffed animals, and I often get asked if these cuddly friends need special care. Well, let's dig into it and find out!
First off, let's talk about what makes lavender stuffed animals so unique. The lavender inside these toys isn't just for show. Lavender has natural calming properties. It can help soothe anxiety, improve sleep quality, and even reduce stress. That's why a lot of people love having these lavender - scented plushies around, especially kids and those who have trouble sleeping.
Now, onto the care part. One of the most important things to consider is the lavender itself. Over time, the scent of lavender will fade. But don't worry, there are ways to refresh it. You can take the stuffed animal to a well - ventilated area and gently shake it. This helps to release the remaining scent and also redistributes the lavender inside. If you want to boost the smell, you can add a few drops of pure lavender essential oil to a cotton ball and tuck it inside the toy. Just make sure not to use too much oil, as it can stain the fabric.
When it comes to cleaning, it's a bit different from regular stuffed animals. You definitely don't want to throw your lavender stuffed animal in the washing machine right away. The water can damage the lavender and make it lose its scent. Instead, spot - clean the dirty areas. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Dampen the cloth with the soapy water, gently rub the dirty spots, and then use a clean, damp cloth to rinse. Let it air dry completely.
If the stuffed animal is really dirty and spot - cleaning isn't enough, you can try a more thorough cleaning method. But this should be done carefully. First, remove as much of the lavender as you can. You can open a small seam (if possible) and pour the lavender into a container. Then, put the empty stuffed animal in a pillowcase and wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. After washing, let it air dry. Once it's dry, refill it with the lavender or fresh lavender if needed.
Another aspect of care is storage. If you're not going to use the lavender stuffed animal for a while, store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in a plastic bag for a long time, as this can make the lavender lose its scent faster. A breathable cotton bag or a cardboard box is a better option.
