Jellycat Bashful Bunny Care: Keep It Fluffy and Clean

Quick Answer

To keep your Jellycat Bashful Bunny fluffy and clean, spot clean first, then hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent, and air dry flat. Avoid machine washing and high heat.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

1. Spot Clean First: Use a damp cloth with a drop of mild detergent to gently dab away surface dirt. Avoid rubbing, which can mat the fur. Always test on a small area first to ensure the color doesn't bleed.
2. Hand Wash in Cool Water: Fill a basin with cool water and a small amount of gentle detergent. Submerge the bunny and gently squeeze the water through the fabric. Avoid wringing or twisting. Never use hot water—it can damage the fibers and cause shrinkage.
3. Rinse Thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cool water. Gently press the bunny to remove soap residue. Repeat until the water runs clear. Residual soap can make the fur stiff and sticky, so rinse well.
4. Air Dry Flat: Lay the bunny on a clean, dry towel and reshape it. Roll the towel to remove excess water, then let it air dry flat away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not hang to dry—the weight can stretch the ears and body.
5. Fluff with a Soft Brush: Once completely dry, gently brush the fur with a soft-bristled brush or a clean pet brush to restore fluffiness. Brush in the direction of the fur to avoid creating frizz.
