Start With Gentle Surface Cleaning
The Putty Highland Cow (9-inch version) and the Putty Nursery Highland Cow (11-inch version) are made from luxuriously soft etched plush fabric. The Putty line is known for its super-soft texture and neutral color palette. To keep these toys looking and feeling their best, start with gentle surface cleaning.
For everyday dust and light dirt, use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the plush surface. Avoid scrubbing or using heat, which can damage the delicate fabric. Always check for any attached tags or labels before cleaning.
How to Spot Clean a Putty Highland Cow
For small stains or spills, spot cleaning is the safest method.
- Prepare a mild solution: Mix a small amount of gentle baby-safe detergent or mild soap with cool water. Do not use bleach, fabric softener, or harsh chemicals.
- Dab, don't rub: Dip a clean white cloth into the solution and wring it out until damp. Gently dab the stained area. Rubbing can push the stain deeper or damage the fabric.
- Rinse and blot: Use a second cloth dampened with plain cool water to remove soap residue. Blot with a dry towel to absorb excess moisture.
- Air dry away from heat: Lay the plush flat on a towel in a well-ventilated area. Keep it away from direct sunlight, radiators, or dryers, as heat can alter the fabric's softness.
