My daughter has a mechanical teddy bear that had a voice box which she ripped out of his bottom. His body is still hard and full of electronic components, although none of them work anymore. He goes everywhere with her and has gotten so gross and filthy that I would love to wash him but I'm concerned that the electronic components will wear down his fur and he will have holes in him.
The bear is made of a terry-cloth like material. Is there a way to wash him without throwing him in the machine? I want to make sure he is sanitary but doesn't get ruined. Otherwise my little girl would be devastated.

Wash it by hand. Use 409, Spray & Wash, or something similar. Spray the bear and use a cloth dampened in hot water to sponge it off. Keep doing that until he looks clean. Then spray with Lysol to kill germs.

Have you tried washing them with a sinkful of warm water and Woolite using a sponge or washcloth? Immersion in water can ruin stuffed toys, so that's what my wife and I used for our children's stuffed animals. When you're done just let them air dry -- usually takes about half a day.

Alittle dirt never hurt a kid. I would just leave it alone and not try to wash it.

USE A TOOTHBRUSH AND A SOLUTION OF BAKING SODA AND WATER. THEN LET AIR DRY.
