After completing all production steps, each plush toy is sprayed with compressed air and then brushed and vacuumed. However, please note that since only natural fibers are used, it is impossible to completely remove loose fibers. Plush toys made with white fabric are not dyed, bleached, or otherwise processed; they are simply washed after weaving. While the coloring of other colored fabrics helps particles stick firmly, white plush toys are only washed, so lint may fall off initially. The lint will disappear with use, but it can be removed by absorbing it with a vacuum or beating it outdoors. Because SENGER plush toys are made with natural cotton, lint is inevitable at first, but rest assured that it is unprocessed natural fiber.

The damp smell that is characteristic of wool will disappear as it dries. When drying, turning the stuffed animal over periodically will help it dry faster. Cotton plush toys can be washed by hand or in the washing machine on a delicate cycle using mild detergent. Please note that cotton will begin to clump if you tumble dry it. As it is a natural fiber, small clumps may occur even when hand-washing.

Avoid using fabric softener on fabrics dyed with either method. All dyes used are free of lead and other harmful additives, and azo dyes are generally not used.
