We’ve had bed bugs for a little over two months and only identified them last month.
We decided to move out of the apartment and take precautions -
washing everything in hot water, drying them, freezing things.
However, we still have yet to bring over things like stuffed animals.
I’m concerned there may be bugs inside them, would washing and drying them in hot temperatures as well as keeping them outdoors in freezing weather help?
Normally, I would say throw them out, but I know how people are with these things, especially kids.
Tell kids they need to go to doctor’s for a few days. Then drench them with black flag, let them sit in a sealed plastic bag(s) for a couple of days and then wash them in the machine. You will then have to put them back in plastic bag, sealed with packing tape until you get to the new place.
I saw on HGTV that bedbugs LOVE stuffed animals.
You know their favorite stuffed animals and when they have them long enough there’s no stuffing left? Where does it go?
No, really it’s not there. Munchie, for example, has had two operations, and I’m telling you there was nothing there. But no torn stitching either. It’s just gone.
Ever see that show on TLC "My Strange Addiction"? Yeah, some people actually EAT that stuff. Dude, are you starving the kiddos and making them eat the stuffed animals?!?!?!? Geez.
I have a bunch of old stuffed animals that i don’t play with anymore, and I want to donate them to a charity for kids. I don’t care what charity because all children need a stuffed animal, or toys. BUT I do need a charity that i can pack the stuff in a box and send it to them. is there any charity like that?

My dog REALLY enjoys trying to eat all my soft and fuzzy stuffed animals, and when they manage to survive the fur gets all hard and crusty. I tried to wash them but that only ruins them more, so how can i fix them?
My dogs get their toys filthy and I always manage to get them clean.I wash them in hot water with detergent and a splash of bleach. Sometimes it takes two washings!
Okay, today I opened the window a little bit and at like, 5:30 pm, I went into my room and it smelled like sweat and hotness. I smelled my stuffed puppy dog my dad got for Valentine’s day and it smelled AWFUl. I already washed and dried all of the stuffed animals and they smell the same. Please help me!
Put your stuffed animal in a zip lock gallon bag with a half cup of baking soda,shake well, and let it sit for 24 or more hours. Remove it from the bag and shake off the baking soda. You may have to
use the vacuum. If it still smells, place item in zip lock gallon bag with 2 dryer sheets.
You may have to do this with each stuffed animal, one at a time. Space Bags are big enough for very large stuffed animals, and they are available at Walmart and Bed, Bath and Beyond.
I moved a few months ago, and I packed any stuffed animals I had in a big garbage bag. Once I took them out, they smelled like the bag! All plasticy.. It makes me gag. How can I get the smell out?
Air them out, for one. Put them by a big sunny open window for a few days, maybe mist the whole pile with a little febreze once or twice. Stuffed animals tend to absorb the smells around them, as you found out. So try surrounding them with things that smell good. Air fresheners couldn’t hurt!
We got fleas and we think they might be in my daughter’s stuffed animals and someone said that if fleas get in stuffed animals you have to get rid of them. She has had most of the animals since she was 1-3 and does not want to get rid of them. Please give me optional solutions!
wash them in the hottest bleach water you can possibly get or put them in a garbage bag and if you have a deep freezer put them in there for 48 hours safest way without using sprays or powders
For business class,
we have to come up with a product and advertise it
and I’m have stuffed animals for my product.
What would be a good commercial for a stuffed animal?
What’s the most valuable thing your product can deliver to your customer ?
Who is your customer ?
For example if we’re talking about children’s stuffed animals, then the customer is likely to be the parent, whereas the child is the consumer.
What does the customer, meaning the parent, get from your product ?
A happy child ? Who sleeps well with his/her toy ?
The feeling of giving a gift the child will treasure ?
Comfort to an ill child you have to leave overnight in hospital ?
A childs best friend ?
You get the idea.
In technical terms, the product isn’t the product, its the delivery mechanism for the product.
The product in this case could be a happy, content, child who sleeps well.
Try any of these themes for your commercial and I’d expect your class to be blown away.
All the best,
Is it even possible to get stuffed animals fluffy again after they have been machine-washed?
The outside of my son’s animals look all flat and have lost their newer fluffy look.
I them put them loose in the machine with a little liquid detergent. Can’t remember the temperature.
Tell me what you did exactly and what is not fluffy his insides or his outsides?
What did you wash them with and how.. hot water, cold water, warm water? In a pillow case? in with towels? Did you put them in the dryer?
Rewash them put them individually in pillow cases. USe regular detergent and rinse 2 times..on the second rinse add double the liquid fabric softener.
Put them in the dryer for 5 to 10 minutes only in the pillow cases with tennis balls to refluff. No longer or the fine fur will melt and mat.
Brush them gently while still damp with a wire dog brush and allow to dry 100% in a sunny window, by a heat source or outside.
I want to hang some stuffed animals from the ceiling (not a net in the corner) but all over the room. I’m pretty sure you’d use yarn to tie them..but how would I go about making them stay on the ceiling? Staple them? Or is there a better method?
there are these hokes and they just screw into the wall you can use them to hang coats or something on them but when i was little my mom put them on the celling and we hung stuff off of them they work perfect im not sure where you can get them but probably home depo or walmart so just look around and im sure you will be able to find them umm and yarn would prob work but maybe something that wouldnt be as noticeable lie fishing string and then put a hook on the end\d and hang the stuffed animal off of the hook but thats just a segestion and dont do it if your daughters too young and would get hurt on the hooks and make sure she understands haha okay hope i helped
