>>9715453I usually only try to buy ones that are very clean in the first place so all they need is a brief spot cleaning. I've found some that are basically brand new there. This one giant Minnie I got still had her tag on her.
>>9715475I'm curious, what's the safest way to clean them in the washing machine? I'm scared of that messing them up somehow. I definitely worry about putting them in the dryer too. I ordered a plush that turned out to be dryer damaged and they really aren't the best. Also, what's the best brush to use on them? Most of mine are minky/smooth texture ones so I feel like they probably require a very specific kind of brush.
>>9715482It's crazy what plushies Aliexpress and China have. I got this one big Judy plush that's way better than anything that Disney made of her America. There's also some really cute knockoff Anna and Sailor moon plushies too. In general, they have way better human plushies than western stores. If you buy stuff from China, I reccomend Aliexpress since I've used it a few times and the issues haven't been too bad. Try to go for stores with lots of good reviews as multiple stores often sell the same thing.
