Think of cleaning your Cuddle Pal like any other stuffed animal, with some gentle care:
- Spot cleaning: Use a bit of mild soap or detergent and warm water on a soft cloth to gently clean any stains.
- Surface disinfection: Use a disinfectant spray or wipe and gently clean the entire Cuddle Pal.
- Surface wipe-down: Dip a soft cloth in soapy water and gently wipe down the entire Cuddle Pal, avoiding soaking it.
- Rinse & dry: Use a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. Air dry under shade before snuggling again!
Additional Tips:
- Do not submerge your Cuddle Pal in water, as excessive moisture can damage the internal components and weights.
- Use a soft brush (e.g., a pet brush) to gently fluff and restore its appearance after cleaning.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the fabric or fur and may not be safe for individuals who use the toy.
Regular cleaning can help keep your Cuddle Pal clean and fresh, ensuring it continues to provide comfort and support.
