Washing Plus-Plus Toys in a Washing Machine:
- Preparation:
- Remove any external dirt or debris by giving the toys a good shake or brush.
- Secure the Plus-Plus toys inside a mesh laundry bag or a pillowcase to protect them during the wash.
- Settings:
- Opt for a gentle cycle on your machine, favoring cold or lukewarm water to avoid potential warping.
- Detergent:
- Use a mild detergent. Harsh chemicals or bleach could compromise the toy's integrity and color.
- Washing:
- Proceed with the gentle cycle, but avoid the spin cycle – it can be a bit too rigorous.
- Drying:
- Post-wash, spread out the toys on a clean towel, letting them air dry naturally.
Washing Plus-Plus Toys in a Dishwasher:
- Preparation:
- First and foremost, shake off any clinging dirt or particles.
- Situate the toys in a dishwasher-friendly mesh bag or basket to keep them contained.
- Settings:
- Choose a gentle or eco cycle. It's milder and generally uses cooler water. Be sure to turn off the heat dry cycle.
- Detergent:
- Use your regular dishwasher detergent, but steer clear of aggressive cleaning agents.
- Washing:
- Run your chosen cycle, ensuring toys are securely positioned to prevent them from scattering. The top rack usually works best.
- Drying:
- Post-wash, spread out the toys on a clean towel, letting them air dry naturally.
