Big teddy bears provide a comforting, joyful, and cozy presence. On the other hand, they can be quite fiddly in terms of cleaning and keeping fresh. All you do is follow these few easy steps to make sure your giant teddy bear stays soft, fluffy, and ready for a hug anytime.

1. Regular Dusting
   Large teddy bears can get really dusty, especially when they sit out in your room. Gently brush or shake your teddy once a week to keep it free of dust. You can also use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment on low power to clean it up without damaging the fur.

2. Spot Cleaning
   This means a small stain does require a little cleaning. A damp cloth with mild soap will do the job; just lightly rub off any marks or stains. Avoid soaking the teddy bear; too much water could damage it. For spotting, air dry naturally.

3. Mild Washing
   The first time your teddy bear needs a good scouring, read the label first! Some of them can go into the washing machine on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag. If that is not possible, give your teddy a very soft hand wash in warm water with mild detergent. After washing, press out excess water, not wringing it, then hang to air dry.

4. Fluffing and Maintenance
   Give your big teddy bear a nice shake once in a while, just to keep him as fluffy as new. You can also brush his fur with a soft brush to keep it smooth. Do not put your teddy in direct sunlight for too long because the color may fade away.

Some love and attention, and your big teddy bear will be low maintenance. Want your very own big cuddly teddy? Check out Bkanz for a variety of cute, quality stuffed animals just right for any home. Find your new best friend today!
