How long should stuffed animals last?
There is no clear term for the life of a plush toy. Its life depends on many factors, such as materials, manufacturing processes, frequency of use, etc. Typically, high-quality stuffed animals will last for several years.

Generally speaking, stuffed toys will maintain their appearance and quality for up to two years, but their lifespan may be shortened if they are overused, damaged, or exposed to sunlight for too long.

Why do stuffed toys wear out?
Stuffed toys are prone to wear and tear because they are constantly handled, pulled, and squeezed. Additionally, environmental factors can cause wear and tear on stuffed toys, such as sunlight, heat, and humidity.

Frequent use and cleaning can also wear down stuffed toys. Excessive cleaning may cause the fibers on the surface of the plush toy to become loose and lose its original softness and elasticity. Therefore, we should reduce the number of cleanings and try to avoid frequent cleaning of plush toys.

How to protect plush toys?
Protecting your stuffed animals requires some simple measures. Here are some possible care options:

Avoid exposure to sunlight: Plush toys can cause fading and deterioration in texture if they are exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time. Therefore, try to avoid placing stuffed animals in direct sunlight.

Avoid water: Plush toys are generally not suitable for getting wet or immersed in water. If cleaning is required, use a small amount of warm water and soap, wash gently, then rinse with warm water and allow to dry.

Regular cleaning: Although frequent cleaning will cause wear and deformation of plush toys, regular cleaning is still necessary. Use a vacuum cleaner or soft brush to gently remove dust and stains.

Storage: Plush toys should be stored in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight. If you decide to place stuffed animals in storage boxes, make sure they are completely dry before storing.

Maintenance and Repair: If a stuffed toy shows minor wear or damage, it can be maintained and repaired immediately. For example, you can close the tear with hand sutures or needle thread to prevent the problem from getting worse.

In short, stuffed toys are our precious memories and precious items that require our adequate attention and protection. By avoiding exposure to sunlight, water, regular cleaning, proper storage and prompt maintenance, we can extend the life of our stuffed toys and protect them from damage.
