Cleaning Stuffed Animals With Music Boxes

Archives: Request: Cleaning Stuffed Animals With Music Boxes Archived on 01/09/2008 How do I clean 2 stuffed animals with music boxes inside without risking creating rusty parts? One has the music box in the head and when you pull the ring at the end of the scrunched up body, the music plays as the body scrunches back up toward the head. This one is 14 years old and in great shape except the heavy dust that has settled in the folds. Delynn Tracy from Wixom, MI Answers: RE: Cleaning Stuffed Animals With Music Boxes I always threw them into the washing machine with the towels. They came out fine. The music still played. (04/25/2006) By Loretta RE: Cleaning Stuffed Animals With Music Boxes Try 'scrubbing' them with cornmeal. Allow the cornmeal to stay on them overnight, then brush it off (I use a hairbrush). That should remove the dust and even some grime, without damaging the music box. (04/25/2006) RE: Cleaning Stuffed Animals With Music Boxes I would do the cornmeal thing and do it outside and hang up for a bit to air out and also lightly beat it like a rug. Oh i would then spray it with lysol. (04/26/2006) By Meoowmom Report Spam or Abuse
