I've washed lotsa stuffed animals, and usually I wash them in cool water on the gentle/hand wash cycle with mild soap like Dreft, you can use a fabric softener if you like, but whatever you do DO NOT STICK THEM IN THE DRYER. The dryer makes them frizzy, and ruins the texture of their fur. Just let them dry naturally, and gently brush them out after they've dried. Good luck....(Answered by Tboi toy)

Can you reverse aging effects on fleece? I have plenty of fleece sweaters that have been washed too many times, and they are no longer soft. I was wondering if this was a result of pilling, and therefore could be reversed with one of those fabric shavers I read about in another question, or if the softness of my fleece is forever lost? Only one reply and it doesn't answer my question, does no one know if I can REVERSE the effects of over-washing on fleece? ... (Asked by J B)

A.
The pilling happens when the soft fuzzy fibers tangle together. If you use a fabric shaver, the fleece will look smooth again. But it won't regain the velvety softness, because the fuzzy fibers will be gone. Fabric soften helps, but unfortunately it can't restore the original feel. Believe me, I've tried every method!...(Answered by MailorderMaven)

I know what you can try in the future...I know it mean some work but...In the old days they used to use "dress shields" to protect clothing from sweat stains. You can still buy them in the notions department of stores that sell fabrics/sewing supplies. If you want to protect expensive clothing you can stitch these into the armpits and remove/replace them when they get too stiff....(Answered by sassy sue)
