My sweetheart has a large white stuffed plush bear that has gotten dirty (general dirt, dust, grime)... what would be the best / safest means of cleaning it ?
Thanks for your input !!

So far, all reasonable responses (less one) !! Dry-cleaning sounds safest, but most expensive... the Cornstarch is the most innovative... the pillow-case sounds simplest. I'll give it a few more days... THANKS !

Sprinkle it with cornstarch. Use an old toothbrush to brush the cornstarch into the grimy areas. Let sit for a few hours or overnite. Then shake it off or use a vacuum to remove the powder. Can be used repeatedly until it is clean. Will also remove any odors. Lots of luck!

I put my kids stuffed toys in the washer, but I will tie them up in a pillow case before so the agitator won't tear up the toy. Then just let it air dry. If it's stiff, you can throw it in the dryer for a few minutes to fluff it up.

Take it to the dry cleaner.

Try wiping it down with baby wipes.
