How do I clean my child's soft plush toys? I have a 2 year old girl and a baby on the way. I want to wash my daughter's soft toys so that they are clean for the baby. Most of them say on label "surface washable only". Do you think I could still put them in the washing machine on gentle cycle? A friend thinks this will be ok if I put them in pillowcases first. Has anyone else done this? Do you have any other suggestions for cleaning them?

what are these little insects on soft toys? i've just been cleaning out my room and have found little bugs of some sort on a couple of soft toys. There were only 2, but when i was also cleaning some boxes that had been stacked on top of each other, I found a few more (dead). They're really small, I'd say about 2-3mm, they're brown and if you look closely they have darker brown stripes and obviously little tiny legs. I was just wondering what they are and if I should be wary of them.

Would you re-wash the soft cloth toys to get the food smell out? My kind husband washed our baby's soft cloth toys with a wash wrag (soap and water of course). Then, placed them to dry laying on a towel. I smelled the toys and they smell kind of like food. He used the same washcloth that he used to wash dishes and wipe the counters off with on the toys. Is this okay? Would you re-wash them to get the food smell out? Our baby puts everything in his mouth - that's why I'm asking. Thanks!

The Disney Store (in the UK at least) used to sell many different sizes of plush - from the small 5" plushes to 5ft giants (think adult Simba!). Is there any way to tell if a 'giant' version of any specific character was made? Who should I ask? Ebay is useful, but people's descriptions aren't always brilliant.
