You’ve got your hands on an adorable new plushie—congrats!

Whether it’s a cuddly companion or a collectible treasure, proper care will keep it looking and feeling its best for years. Here’s Rumi’s guide to giving your plushie the love it deserves.

Freshen It Up Naturally

Fresh out of the box, your plushie might have a slight warehouse smell. No worries—just place it in a well-ventilated area for a few hours. Let the air naturally freshen it up!

Bring Back the Fluff

After being packed tight, your plushie might look a little deflated. No problem—just gently massage and fluff the stuffing back into place.

This is probably one of the most important things to do and it takes some time.

Think of it like fluffing a pillow—patience is key!

Give Your Plushie a Rosy Glow (And Remove It Safely)

To Apply:

1. Dip a cotton swab lightly into your favorite powder blush.
2. Tap off excess to avoid clumping.
3. Gently dab onto your plushie’s cheeks/nose—like a light dusting, not a full glam!

To Remove:

1. Use a makeup remover wipe (squeeze out extra liquid so it’s just damp).
2. Softly pat the blushed areas—no rubbing!
3. Let air dry completely before re-styling.

Pro Tips:
✔ Test colors first on an inconspicuous spot.
✔ Avoid liquid cosmetics—they can stain.

Keep It Looking Fresh

Plushies may be low-maintenance, but they’re not no-maintenance. Follow these tips to avoid disasters:
✔ Rotate outfits—leaving the same clothes on too long can leave dents or color transfer (especially dark fabrics).
✔ Keep it away from sharp objects—snagged stitching is a pain to fix.
✔ Avoid direct sunlight—unless you want a faded, sad-looking plushie.
✔ If it gets wet, air dry only—no hair dryers (they can melt the fibers).

Store It Right

When your plushie’s not on display (or in your arms):
✔ Keep it in a dry, clean spot—humidity = mold risk.
✔ Seal it in a bag or box to block dust.

Happy cuddling! 🧸💖
