Quick answer

Spot clean your Max plush with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoid machine washing to protect the embroidered details and fabric, and air dry flat away from heat.

Why spot cleaning is safer than machine washing

The Max plush features layered clothing details—a beige polka-dot top tied at the waist, a brown tee with red accents, and green crosshatch-designed boots. These mixed fabrics and sewn-on elements can warp, shrink, or lose shape in a washing machine. Spot cleaning keeps the original stitching and colors intact.

If you must deep clean, hand washing in cold water is a gentler alternative, but still risks loosening the inner polyester fiberfill. Always test a hidden area first.

Step-by-step cleaning guide

  1. Pre-treat stains: Mix a small drop of mild liquid detergent with cool water. Dip a soft white cloth into the solution, wring until damp, and gently dab any soiled areas. Avoid rubbing—that can push dirt deeper into the fibers. Always use a white cloth to prevent dye transfer from colored fabrics.
  2. Rinse the area: Wet a clean cloth with plain cool water and blot the soapy spots until no suds remain. Residual detergent can attract dirt over time. Change cloths frequently to avoid reapplying dirt.
  3. Air dry flat: Lay the plush on a dry towel in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Reshape the arms and legs while damp. Do not use a dryer or radiator—heat can melt synthetic fibers or distort the shape. Allow 12–24 hours for full drying; flip the plush halfway to speed up the process.
