Searching – 2004 Chosun SMALL WHITE Beanie Lying Down DOG with RED EARS, EYE PATCH, HEART on TUSH
I’m looking for a back-up for my son’s stuffed puppy. The tag says Chosun Int’l. It’s about 6 to 8 inches long from nose to feet, lying down on its belly. It is white with red ears, black nose, red patch on one eye, and a red heart on its tush. “Puppy” is covered with what feels like velour, and the body is filled with pellets. The paws and head are soft plush.
Unfortunately, my daughter got it when she was a baby as a gift, and I don’t remember who gave it to us, nor would I expect that person to remember where they got it.
My son is 2, and his older sister, who is 6, got this puppy when she was a baby. She wasn’t interested in it, so it sat in a bin with other stuffed animals. My son stumbled upon it last year, and is literally attached to it!
My son takes this little guy to bed, and he’s clearly his “security blanket”. “Puppy” goes everywhere with him and is surface washable only. Needless to say, Puppy is looking more gray than white lately.
I would love to find a backup and have searched on eBay and Googled Chosun, but to no avail. Even if a backup can’t be found, I would appreciate any suggestions on how to surface wash this little guy so he lasts longer.
Thanks you so much!
Happy New Year!
Barbara

Searching for a toy – Originally posted 01/02/2010
I have great success with washing plush toys, even ones with pellets.
Just put the item in a mesh laundry bag with a zipper closure. I think the delicate cycle is best, my machine doesn't have one, never seems to be a problem though.
I hope that helps 🙂

Build-a-Bear makes a stuffed animal cleaner, it's in a spray bottle. You can get it at their stores or on their website. This stuff is Wonderul!! You can spot clean or use a good bit and really clean it all over. Not terribly expensive at about $6 a bottle and it last a while.
Good Luck:)
We usually spot clean with SHOUT and wash all over with mild dish detergent, then towel dry, and air dry on a rack over a heating/AC vent. Some toys actually do better machine washed and dried, however. Just be sure to tie it up in a pillow case.
We've had success washing beanies before, but ours were in excellent condition to begin with. That does make a difference.
good point DB, if an item is in fragile condition from excessive love, then I would not put in the washer either 🙂
Thank you all for your insight! I will try your suggestions while the search continues. 🙂
