Skip the soap and use baking soda. Most soaps and detergents are too strong for plush fabrics and can cause bleaching. The video in the OP is a solid reference point, but I'm not too fond of using water so readily as it can deteriorate the stitching and fabric itself. Here's my personal list on how to properly take care of a plush, I've done this with many of my older softs, but the overall logic is the same for fumos.

1) Unpleasant odor but otherwise clean
- This usually happens if I leave a plush in a closed space for too long, like a tub or a chest, but it also works for other instances like if you ordered a plush from another country and there's just something off about the smell, even if it's unopened. It tends to be a mixture of stale air and minor dust that usually goes away as soon as you lightly shake it out. The easiest way to remedy this is to put it out in the sun and let it air out for a couple of hours, I usually like to do this with a clothesline and pin. The mixture of the heat of the sun, light, and fresh air will get rid of any musty smell. (This also works for books.)

2) Spot damage
- This is if your soft has some sort of blemish that's not uniform and only on one spot (ie: you put the plush on a dusty or dirty surface). First, pat away from the spot to try and get rid of as much of the larger particles out. You don't want to pat it in because it can trap unwanted debris into the fabric itself. Then, using some baking soda, just rub it into the same spot continuously and then vigorously shake it out once you've got it mixed in with the fabric. If a stain is particularly persistent or if it's a wet stain, use a baking soda paste with vinegar to brush and soak the spot. Usually, it's best to use a toothbrush for any sort of application of baking soda as it can rub surfaces more thoroughly than a finger can. Wash away after you let it sit for a few minutes and repeat until the spot is clean if need be. Usually, only one application is needed.

3) Uniform filth and grime
- If you take good care of your softs, you never really have to do this. However, I've ordered cheap softs from people who have neglected them and are practically covered in dust, soot, and wear, but I've been able to make them brand new again. Here's what I do:

First, brush down the entire plush with baking soda, rubbing it into every inch you can. The more filthy, the more vigorously. After that, I like to gently submerge the soft into a small tub of water and let it seep in there for a minute or so, in order for the water to be fully absorbed with the baking soda. After this, press down on your plush to take out as much water as you can while leaving it damp. Add another coating of baking soda on the exterior and take care not to pat out the soda too much. I follow this up by putting the plush into a pillow case with some extra baking soda thrown in on the inside. Make sure that your pillow case has no holes in it and tie off one end. I then put it into a dryer on a gentle, low heat seating. The left-over water and baking soda will cause outgassing and remove most impurities that are deeper than the surface of the soft. (You'll notice just how soft they truly can be after you take it out!) After this, wash off your soft but don't submerge in water, just enough to get it damp (squeeze out any excess water) and take off as much of the excess baking soda as you can. Repeat the dryer in a new pillow case set to the same setting, no baking soda this time. Finally, take out your newly clean fumo! I highly recommend letting them dry out on a clothesline or at least by a warm place with natural sunlight so you can also remove any lingering odor of baking soda.

Reads like a stereotypical 90's JRPG-esque fantasy story. Apply yourself.

does anyone have a download link for a zip file with a bunch of these pics in them?

I was looking for more in the archives and found a mediafire link, but it was dead and was wondering if there was a new one?

once i find one I'll delete the thread, sorry for cluttering the board
