Safety & Care Guide
At WonderLab Kids, we want every plush friend to stay soft, clean, and loved for as long as possible.
Our plush toys are designed to bring comfort, imagination, and everyday joy into your child’s routine. Like any soft toy, proper care and regular checking are important to help maintain its appearance, softness, and overall condition.
Please follow the care and safety guidance below to help keep your plush buddy ready for bedtime cuddles, gentle play, travel days, and magical little adventures.
Plush Care Tips
To help protect the softness and shape of your WonderLab Kids plush, we recommend gentle care only.
For everyday cleaning, use a soft damp cloth and gently spot clean the affected area. Avoid rubbing too hard, as rough scrubbing may damage the plush fibers, embroidery, accessories, or stitching.
For small marks or light dirt:
- Dampen a clean cloth with cool or lukewarm water.
- Add a small amount of mild soap only if needed.
- Gently dab the stained area.
- Wipe again with a clean damp cloth to remove soap residue.
- Let the plush air dry completely before use.
For best results, clean small marks as soon as possible before they settle deeper into the fabric.
Washing Instructions
Unless the product care label says otherwise, we recommend spot cleaning only.
Please avoid machine washing unless the toy’s care tag clearly states that it is machine washable. Some plush toys may include delicate details such as embroidered features, bows, accessories, straps, keyrings, small pouches, ruffles, or decorative elements that can be damaged in a washing machine.
Do not:
- Bleach
- Iron
- Tumble dry
- Dry clean
- Soak for long periods
- Use strong detergents
- Use harsh stain removers
- Scrub aggressively
- Place near direct heat to dry
After cleaning, reshape the plush gently with your hands and allow it to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
Drying & Storage
After spot cleaning, always allow the plush to dry fully before giving it back to your child or storing it away.
To dry:
- Place the plush in a clean, dry area
- Keep it away from heaters, hair dryers, radiators, or direct heat
- Avoid direct sunlight for long periods, as this may fade colors
- Let the plush air dry naturally
- Gently fluff the fur once dry
When not in use, store the plush in a clean and dry place. Avoid damp areas, heavy compression, or placing heavy objects on top of it, as this may flatten the plush or affect its shape.
Keeping Your Plush Soft
Over time, plush fibers may flatten slightly with regular hugging, play, travel, or storage. This is normal for soft plush toys.
To help maintain softness:
- Gently shake the plush to loosen the fibers
- Lightly brush the surface with your hands
- Store it upright when possible
- Avoid squeezing it under heavy items for long periods
- Keep it away from sticky surfaces, food, and liquids
A little gentle care can help your plush stay fluffy, cozy, and display-ready.
Safety Guidance
WonderLab Kids plush toys are made to be soft, cute, and comforting, but adult supervision is always recommended, especially for younger children.
Before giving the plush to a child, please check the product carefully. Make sure there are no loose parts, torn seams, detached accessories, broken stitching, or damaged areas.
Please inspect the plush regularly, especially if it is used often for bedtime, travel, or daily play.
Stop using the plush if you notice:
- Loose stitching
- Torn fabric
- Detached accessories
- Loose buttons, charms, straps, tags, or keyrings
- Exposed filling
- Damaged seams
- Any part that could become a small loose piece
If the item becomes damaged, keep it away from children until it has been safely repaired or replaced.
Age & Supervision
Always follow the age guidance, warning labels, and care instructions shown on the product page, product packaging, or product tag.
Some plush toys may include decorative features, small accessories, bows, straps, keyrings, hanging loops, or attached details. These items may not be suitable for very young children without supervision.
For babies, toddlers, or children who still place items in their mouth, adult supervision is strongly recommended.
Do not leave plush toys with a sleeping infant unless the product is specifically designed and labeled for that use. Always follow safe sleep guidance for babies and young children.
Keychain & Accessory Plush Safety
Some WonderLab Kids plush products may include keyrings, hanging loops, clips, straps, or small accessory details.
These items are designed for decorative or everyday carry use, such as attaching to a backpack, nursery bag, tote, or shelf hook. They should be checked regularly to make sure the ring, strap, clip, or loop remains secure.
For plush keychains:
- Do not pull forcefully on the ring or strap
- Do not swing the item aggressively
- Do not allow children to chew on the keyring, clip, or strap
- Check the attachment point regularly
- Remove from use if any metal or plastic piece becomes loose
Keychain-style plush toys are best used as cute bag accessories, collectible items, or decorative plush companions.
Keep Away From
To protect both the plush and your child, please keep plush toys away from:
- Open flames
- Candles
- Stoves
- Heaters
- Radiators
- Hot surfaces
- Hair dryers
- Strong sunlight for long periods
- Water soaking
- Harsh chemicals
- Pets that may chew or tear the toy
- Sharp objects
- Rough pulling, twisting, or stretching
Plush toys are soft items and should be handled gently to avoid damage.
