I have washed them for years! Just toss them in the washer, cold, gentle cycle, and then pop them in the dryer. They do take a long time to dry well on the inside.

I also toss sneakers or almost any kind of shoe in the washer. Better than tossing them out!

Nah, just chuck en in, and put them on a wool wash, my poor panda is over 30 years old and still goes for the occasional spin!

yeh great great and dry them in the microwave and watching them go round paint a gwbush face on it and add more time and watch it go round sizzling to bits and throw it out the car on some string going along at sixty nine miles and then give to a rotweiler mad dog and still be it gwbush face and grindstone electric drill the face full speeds great great laughters. great fun time yeh yeh yehhhhhhhhh
haaaaaaaaaaaa haahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Isnt there like a gentle wash setting?

dont be so cruel.teddy bears have feelings also!

u could wash it on low,but u would want 2 put it in something.i suppose that it also depends on the type of fabric the bear is made of.

I normally just chuck my bear bert in the drum and hope for the best!

put them in a pillowcase and dry naturally afterwards

ye just on a silks wash but there take a bit to dry tho

I just throw them in there but if you want you can put them in a pillow case and tie it.

Put them in a pillow case while they go through the wash :)

they be fine in the wash put in apillow case and fabric softner come out like new

If they a old I wouldn't suggest it. The seams may rip or to much hair might come off. If they are not heirlooms, I would place them in a pillow case and wash on the gentle cycle. Don't use to much soap. Hang them out side to dry completely. The drying could take awhile. To re-shape them, if needed, whack them on a clean surface. If you need more advice maybe The Vermont Teddy Bear Company would be able to help you. BLUE

If I wash a teddy in the washing machine, I put it into a pillow case, which I then tie up. I usually try to line dry the teddy rather than tumble dry. Most soft toys say sponge clean only, but I have successfully washed several of my daughters favourites which do get a bit grubby.

What material? Antique material and old will deteriate=NO. Facial features. Glued will fall off & become lost or damaged, remove first & replace later. Plastic will melt if using dryer. Old style bears had stuffing of various materials including straw. These are hand wash only with brush and rag - - don't soak and by itself since color may come off then dry outside in wind or with a fan; no clothes dryer either.

I wash my cat's teddy bear frequently. Bear's eyes sewed on, no plastic, basic newer fur fabric that does not shrink & polyester stuffing plus the color does not come out of fur. So this one goes into washer & dryer with regular load.

Common sense regarding material inside & outside, glued or sewed items, does color come off (bleed) if wet, etc...

I just put them in the machine on a quick 30 degree wash with a small amount of washing powder and some fabric softener. Dont, however, even attempt to wash proper mohair bears this way.
