Fumorns everyone, some of my friends have asked me how to clean bootlegs since they are of lower quality and could possibly not survive a regular bath, but having lived with an insane amount of plushies for my entire lifetime I'm here to show that that's wrong and my lovable, cute, trusty, amazing, soft, beautiful, smile-enchanting Marisa bootleg is helping me. (She's already clean I know, but so are all of my other Fumos and bootlegs, this video is only to demonstrate)
Apart from how you would usually go on about washing plushies that don't have washing instructions on them, things to keep in mind are that bootlegs usually use a way higher amount of glue and have lower quality stitching, so don't pull too hard on things, don't squeeze them in the wrong way and don't overdo it with detergent/cleaning agent to not get rid of the glue (though if you do, that's not the end of the world, your Fumo is not going to combust from this)
Written out instructions for lazy people:
| fill sink/bowl/tub with cold water
| use mild cleaning agents, like mild soap or shampoo
| when squeezing your Fumo's face, do not squish from the sides
| clean either by hand, with a soap, or a toothbrush (or all of them)
| you can let your Fumo soak for a while before starting, if it's stained badly
| be wary of not submerging glued parts for too long so the glue doesn't die
| no need to soak your Fumo if you only want to do minor surface cleaning
| brush along the fabric for finer fabric parts (horizontally across the face)
| don't apply too much force over the eyebrows and mouth
| to dry, squish out water, rub with towel, leave it to dry
