Wow! I have an almost identical teddy. Just Googled 'how to clean a vintage teddy bear', to clean him and your video was the first result! I also got my bear when I was born 35 years ago. He is one of my most precious possessions.
I am almost 20. I've had so many stuffed animals, but I have a special one who's been through so much with me since I was 5. He is 15 years old now :) He needs stuffing and a good cleaning, but I'm afraid to touch him lol
I have a blanky from when I was born (I’m 22 so it’s 22 as well) and I’ve had to do a lot of sewing to keep it from falling apart lol I sleep with mine every night though and have since I got it. It’s had a new lace edging put around it and I do minor upkeep on it regularly to keep any holes from getting too big
Thank you for your question! The method demonstrated in the video is very gentle and designed to safely clean delicate vintage toys. To further ensure their quality and vintage aesthetic are maintained, we recommend testing this cleaning method on a small, inconspicuous area first. This helps confirm there are no adverse effects on the fabric or colors. For extra assurance in cleaning a collectible, consulting a professional conservator or a specialist in vintage toy restoration can provide tailored advice for your specific items. We hope this helps, and happy cleaning!
I have like a cloth bear thing and he is older than me. I Allerup with him every night and he is really dirty. He is starting to get holes and the fabric is getting old too. I am scared to wash him bc i am scared that he will like crumble. But i think i will sew him, and then try to hand wash my little baby. I cant sker without knowing where he is, and he is everything to me. So i will try this but maybe a little more than you be he hasn't been cleaned in like 8 years or so. So he needs to, but ty, i got a little less scared. And ty for sind it shouldn' t me soaked in water. Tysm, now i have a bigger change of him not crumbeling in my hands
I know this os a old video but I have a bear that looks something like your but have no tags who made it does yours have any tags saying who made yours
Yes! It should work fine. If you're concerned, just pick a small patch in an unobtrusive area and test it out there, but Eucalan is gentle enough for velvet!
