>>10459423Can't help with an ID, but can with cleaning. You have 2 options for cleaning at home: hand wash as is, with stuffing in place, or unstuff, wash and dry the skin, then restuff. The 2nd option is my preference for older plushes. To wash as is, fill a bucket or basin/sink with warm water. Add a small amount of gentle laundry detergent like for baby clothes, and swirl to dissolve. Immerse the plush and gently push up and down on it to soak all the way through. Let soak for 10 minutes, agitate up and down again, then hold the plush while you drain the soapy dirty water out. Refill the bucket with warm water and agitate up and down. Drain and fill and agitate again until the water runs clear and there's no more suds. Once the water is clear, push down on the plush to get as much water out as possible. Gently transfer the plush to a thick bath towel and roll the plush in the towel to remove water. If it's still dripping wet, do this again with a dry towel, repeating until it's damp but not dripping. Dry flat on a fresh towel. May take a few days to dry completely.
To wash unstuffed, find the seam where it was closed after stuffing. It's usually on the back or on the belly. It'll look like a slight zigzag like in picrel, instead of being a nice straight line. Undo the seam for 4-5 inches and remove the stuffing. Using the bucket method like before, wash the skin in warm soapy water and rinse well, then roll in towels, then let air dry. Restuff with new polyfil stuffing (available at craft stores), and stitch the opening closed with a ladder stitch.
