Paper Wipers Can Be Used to Clean Stuffed Animals

Paper wipers made from sontara can be used to clean stuffed animals. Puts kids’ stuffed animals inside a pillow case, tie a knot in it and wash them in the washing machine.You can also freshen the animals by placing them in a paper sack with baking soda and shaking them up good.If the animal is stuffed with natural fibers it should not be immersed in water, but can be wiped off with a soapy cloth, followed by a clean wet cloth.Make sure the animal doesn’t have torn seams before you put it in the washing machine.Look for plastic parts before tossing a stuffed animal in the dryer.Make sure the animal doesn’t have a “sound box” or other mechanical parts before you put them in the washing machine and dryer.Helping Kids Stay UnclutteredPut away half of your kids’ toys and switch them around every few months. They’ll have plenty to play with and their room will stay cleaner.Label boxes, baskets, milk crates, plastic tubs - anything they might store toys in - to teach them how to sort toys and keep them off the floor. Let the kids decorate the containers they use so they will be personal and fun.Set a short period of time each day or each week that kids have to straighten up their room. Make a game out of it with a timer and give rewards to all kids for jobs well done. It will become a good habit and they’ll have fun.Get the kids to go through their toys periodically and pick out some things that they don’t play with anymore. Pack them up and take them somewhere where there are kids who don’t have enough toys.Put bookshelves in every available place where the kids can stack their toys, books, etc.
