How do you wash it? I have an 11 yr old Boy Scout.....they get smelly and dirty! Lucy

I've washed mine several times. According to instructions - machine wash on gentle. Tumble dry. It actually fluffs out a lot better after a wash.

It is foam filled, so I believe you can just toss it in the wash and dry on low. I will double check the label when I get home and if the instructions say differently, I will respond to this again within 24 hours. I have two pillows and dryed one on low/medium setting to see the difference in fluff. The pillow that was dryed was quite a bit thicker. Thank you.

Instructions on tag say, "Machine Wash GENTLE. Tumble Dry LOW. Not to exceed 125 degrees. Do not dry clean! I havent had to wash it but if i did i would hand wash with woolite and hang dry or low heat tumble in the dryer.

Cool water cycle, light wash, mild/soft soap, air dry or machine dry on fluff no heat.

I haven't washed mine yet but I think my daughter washed hers. If you follow the directions and let it air dry, I think you will be OK. If I decide I need to wash mine, I'll repost to let you know.

That's odd! I routinely wash mine in the washing machine with hot water and a gentle detergent and haven't yet encountered that problem. You could try a hot wash with a mix of 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water or try a but if vinegar in the wash. Those might help with smell, just make sure to do an extra rinse cycle with both. Also try line drying in sun??

I have had this issue too but discovered washing at a higher temp and or using a bit of bleach and using an extra rinse cycle keeps the synthetics fresh. Otherwise, the synthetics will stink!

I wipe it with a damp washcloth. You can not get it wet, and I know between food and drool it gets messy, but I usually wipe it down with a washcloth as I take it off for bath time. My daughter is almost 3 and still wears hers constantly.

I think the doll reaks. My son got it a week ago and when walking by the playroom I get a whiff and get nauseous. Giving it a bath with peppermint soap and vinegar to try to rid it of the smell now.

My son is 13 and no you cannot wash them in the washing machine. I have hand washed them and laid them in the sun to dry and that helped for a second! He left them in the back of my car one day and the stink took a whole can of frebreze to get out! Hope this helps. Otherwise great gloves, I think any of them are going to have this problem.

I have no idea... im not really planning on washing them. They were a cheap party favor that i figured the kids would use to help cook or do art projects. When they get gross... I'm going to just toss ours.

I haven't washer mine yet. When I do wash it, I'll put it in a bucket with cold water and some mild soap, and swish it around. Air dry. It'll be fine.

I put mine through a cold rinse, like all urine-contaminated items, to ensure that I don't set the odor. (Probably an excessive caution - I don't remember doing that with diapers forty years ago!) Then I wash them in warm water, put in the dryer briefly at low temperature (with other laundry, or with clean dry towels) to remove excess moisture (they do hold a lot!), then lay out flat to finish drying. However, I have forgotten to take them out of the dryer sometimes, and they seem to be just fine.

I throw them in the wash with the other clothes. I do stick them in a mesh lingerie bag to be able to find it. Eventually they will wear out but they won't be sticky or gross! :) good luck!

Mine didn't smell like any of the odors you mentioned when I got it. It still doesn't smell like that today, after 1 year of use. I occasionally air it out - without dirty clothes in it. The only issue I've ever had to deal with was I put damp towels in it and forgot. So the bottom got moldy. I just sprayed the moldy part with hot water, scrubbed it with a tiny squirt of laundry soap, wiped it down and let it dry. It's good as new. I don't know why yours has that smell.

I wash it on the regular cycle on hot. But when it comes to rinse I add white vinegar. It takes the smell out and makes it more absorbent. If there's a lot of poopy diapers I'll do a second rinse with more vinegar.

Mine didn't have a smell? However I did wash mine because it got dirty and air dried it and it was fine. I guess that would be an option if there is a smell.

Yes! I've had this issue with my sons' team shirts. I'll have to remember to soak them before washing them.

Just kinda shake it out. Wash it right after if you can, but if not, it comes with a Baggie.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

The smell goes away after a while. I would spray it with fabreeze or something like that It has cardboard inside and washing it would destroy it.
