Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my horror plushie without damaging it?
Before you reach for the soap, peek at that tag first to see what the manufacturer recommends. Usually, the safest bet is to just spot clean as needed. What you can do is dampen a soft cloth with mild soap and give the plush gentle wipes rather than rough scrubs (don’t wanna put any wear and tear on the fabrics now, do we?)
If the tag gives the green light to machine wash, pop the plush in a mesh bag and use the delicate cycle with cold water. Then let that thing air dry completely before using it again. No heat drying though, cause it can make fibers break down reaal quick.
Are horror plushies suitable for children?
Good question! While some horror plushies play up more silly, cartoony designs perfect for kids, others…not so much. A lot depends on the actual plush and the maturity of the child in your life. Check those age recommendations and whether the plush features overtly frightening elements your kid may not vibe with. At around five years though, mildly creepy plushies are likely A-OK. But if we’re talking super gory, ultra disturbing villains? Maybe keep those snug buddies out of the playroom for a bit.
Can horror plushies be part of home decor?
Abso-freakin-lutely! Horror plushies make killer home decor any time of year but especially around Halloween. Sprinkle in small plushies with other seasonal knick-knacks or spotlight bigger snugglies like Freddy or Pennywise plush dolls as the star of your frightening decor!
