Cleaning Recommendations for Folkmanis PuppetsFurry Plush Puppets
(Sheepdog, Horse, Timber Wolf, etc.)

Be careful not to wring or twist the puppet, or you may end up with lumpy stuffing. Dry by gently squeezing between towels, or hanging from clothesline to drip-dry. After it’s dry, brush with wire dog brush to fluff the fur. When brushing face, be careful to avoid scratching the eyes or pulling out the threads in ears, nose, or mouth areas.
