Can I put stuffed animals in the dryer?

Drying stuffed animals requires comprehensive judgment based on the material and structure:

I. Risk Warning

1. Material damage: Common stuffing materials such as acrylic cotton and PP cotton are prone to agglomeration and deformation at high temperatures, and wool and silk fabrics may shrink and pill;
2. Accessories fall off: Plastic eyes, buttons and other decorations are prone to loosening when heated, and high-speed tumbling may cause them to fall off;
3. Safety hazards: Sound and light toys with battery boxes/electronic components are strictly prohibited from drying, and high temperatures may cause short circuits.

II. Safety Operation Guide

1. Pretreatment: Put in a laundry bag before drying, and fold the zipper/Velcro part in reverse to fix it;
2. Mode selection: Use low temperature drying (≤50℃), turn on the anti-winding function (if any), and control the duration within 20 minutes;
3. Remedial measures: Pat the stuffing immediately after drying to restore the fluffiness, and use a brush to straighten the surface fibers.

III. Alternatives

1. Hanging and drying: Place in a cool and ventilated place, and insert desiccant inside to accelerate dehumidification;
2. Partial quick drying: Use a hair dryer in cold air mode to blow the wet parts at a distance of 30cm;
3. Professional maintenance: It is recommended to send antique toys or high-end customized models to a doll care shop for vacuum drying.
