There are several methods to remove mold on plush toys:

1、 Coarse salt or baking soda cleaning method

Material preparation: a bag of coarse salt (large grain salt) or a plastic bag, or choose baking soda.

Operation steps:

Put the dirty plush toy into a plastic bag and then add an appropriate amount of coarse salt or baking soda.

Tie the mouth of the plastic bag tightly and shake it vigorously for a few minutes.

When taking out plush toys, salt or baking soda has already turned black or gray due to the adsorption of mold and dirt.

Gently pat off the salt or baking soda on the doll, and the mold should be removed accordingly.

Principle: By utilizing the strong adsorption effect of coarse salt or baking soda on dirt, mold spots can be effectively removed. At the same time, salt has a strong disinfectant effect, which can kill bacteria and viruses.

2、 White vinegar and milk soaking method

Material preparation: a basin of water, an appropriate amount of white vinegar and milk, and a soft bristled brush.

Operation steps:

Add an appropriate amount of white vinegar and milk to clean water (usually add two spoons of white vinegar and half a bag of milk to a basin).

Soak the plush toy completely in the basin, lightly press to make it wet, and soak for about ten minutes.

Use a soft bristled brush to gently scrub the surface of the doll, especially the moldy areas, paying attention to gentle movements to avoid damaging the doll.

Pour out the water from the basin, replace it with clean water, and continue cleaning the doll until the water becomes clear.

Squeeze the doll to remove moisture, then let it air dry naturally in a well ventilated area.

Principle: The ingredients in white vinegar and milk help to remove moldy odors and spots, while also serving as a cleaning and disinfecting agent.

3、 Mold removal agent treatment method

Material preparation: mold remover, water, soft bristled brush.

Operation steps:

Wet the plush toy with clean water and lay it flat.

Spray the mold remover evenly on the moldy area and let it sit for at least ten minutes to allow the mold remover to fully function.

If the mold is particularly severe, you can spray the mold remover several times.

Gently brush the moldy areas with a soft bristled brush, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Soak the doll in water mixed with laundry detergent for half an hour, and then clean it according to the usual laundry procedures.

After cleaning, you can choose to spin dry the doll in the washing machine (pay attention to the degree of damage), or let it air dry naturally in a well ventilated place.

Principle: The effective ingredients in the mold remover can quickly decompose mold spots, achieving the effect of removing mold spots.

4、 Precautions

During the cleaning and drying process, pay attention to the material and filling of the plush toy to avoid damage.

It is best to choose a well ventilated place for natural drying when drying, to avoid exposure to sunlight that may cause the doll to change color or deform.

If there are batteries or other electronic components inside the doll, they should be removed before cleaning to avoid damage.

For plush toys that are particularly valuable or difficult to clean, it is recommended to send them to a professional dry cleaning shop for cleaning.
