Plush Care Guidelines and Avoiding Messy Products
Plush toys like fruit scented pillows should avoid contact with messy substances like mayonnaise or peanut butter that could seep into their fabric. The discussion extends to keeping plushies away from sticky items such as hard candy, gum, cotton candy, or even dairy -based products like spilled milk or yogurt. Potential solutions like location -aware tags for plushies are suggested to prevent accidental exposure to substances that could compromise their cleanliness and longevity.
