Well I've had my big pony plush for four months now and I have stopped cuddling with her for fear of permanently damaging her if I continue (although the damage might already be permanent, fml).
Every time I clean a plush, I ALWAYS end up ruining the fabric. I don't know if it's my water, the temperature, the soap I'm using, the brushes, maybe I scrub too hard, maybe I take too long, maybe I don't dry them right, I don't know. I've tried a few things but I can never do it right. And the idea of ruining my only big plushie has made me put it off for a while. I wash my sheets often and I never sleep with her unless I shower, no exceptions, but those can only do the trick for so long. So I stopped sleeping with plushies.
I bought some Folex over a month ago but still haven't touched it. I don't know how much to use and I'm not sure of the effects on fabric. Not only that, I have no idea how to clean faux fur. I'm scared, bros. Every 4DE and Symbiote plushie I've tried to clean IS visibly clean, no discoloration, and they don't smell, but cuddling with them now feels like cuddling with a dish rag. And well, I don't want to cuddle with a dish rag!
How do you do it properly?

I've been debating whether or not to go to the con, and just made up my mind Monday to join it, but the cinemare is one of the reasons I go there, and is already fully booked a month ago. doesn't means I want more seats added there, but it's a bit disappointing. I'm just venting here.
