Ever had a collection of some sort?

[princesse_sophie]

It's not a physical collection, but i started collecting funny images from various sites online. And then I send them to my friends when they are depressed so I can make them smile even if i can't be with them.

@ juricks...sorry hindi ako makapag PM, bawal sa system namin mag send out ng PM, though i received it and answered your question via EMAIL. check it out na lang.

just to answer your question here: you can do two things, place it the washing machine or you can use baking soda. but before you throw it in the washing machine, check first the label if its machine washable

* If the animal is dusty, sometimes, all it needs is a little wiping. Take a slightly damp cloth and rub the animal all over until the dust is removed. After the animal is “dusted,” brush with an old hairbrush. You can also use the hose attachment on your vacuum to rid the animal of dust. A sticky lint roller works for this task as well.

* In most cases, stuffed animals can be laundered in the washing machine. It’s always a good idea to check the label to see if there are any recommendations for laundering. Before throwing a plush toy in the wash, examine the animal for any rips or tears at the seams. If you see any, it would be in your best interest to perform a little emergency surgery and sew up the tears so they don’t get worse in the washing machine. You might also check the stuffed animal for stains. If it’s stained, pretreat by dabbing on a bit of laundry detergent and letting it sit for a short while before tossing it in.

* When you’re ready to give the stuffed animal a bath, place it in a pillowcase and wash with the rest of your laundry. It’s best to use a delicate cycle and a gentle detergent. It’s also a good idea to use a bit of fabric softener to keep the toys soft and cuddly. When the stuffed animal is removed from the washing machine, you can give it a good brushing.

* Don’t throw a stuffed animal in the washing machine if it’s very old or very delicate. Put it in a paper bag and shake baking soda into the same bag. Shake the bag until the stuffed animal is coated in baking soda. Leave the baking soda on for about thirty minutes and then brush off with a towel. This is also a good way for cleaning and freshening animals that are too big for the washing machine.

* It’s not always a good idea to dry your stuffed animals in the clothes dryer. If the animal or the stuffing is made from a material prone to shrinking or losing its shape in the dryer, you’re much better off using a clothes line (make sure it’s not too sunny though, the color can fade). There’s another option. Place your stuffed animal next to a dehumidifier if you happen to own one. It’ll take a couple of days, but you can dry your animal this way without worrying about any kind of damage. If you do use the dryer, put a pair of old sneakers into it along with the stuffed animal. This will help it to keep its shape.
