Smelly teddy bear!

[Aranea]

Dd1 has a much-loved teddy who sleeps in her bed. After many years of sweaty nIghts he is very smelly. He is surface-wash only, and I have tried to do this a couple of times but it hasn't really helped. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It's OK mummmsy... Apparently there is a residual whiff of his old smell so it's all ok. Also dd is so loyal to her bear that she has announced that if he smells of the washing machine, she likes that smell after all because it is now her beloved bear's smell.

it's not ok Aranea it'll never be ok again!!! ooookaaay?!

what about febreeze and a peg-out on the line?

I live in a flat and don't have a washing line or a tumble dryer. I've washed my little girls favourite teddy twice and he stinks because he's not drying quick enough I don't think. He has beans in his bum too so might be that? Any advice? She really misses him.

No idea if this would work ,but if you have a car can you wash him and put him in the car to dry in this hot weather ? It might be madness]. Otherwise do you have one of those peg things for smalls , ( no idea what they are called) could you peg him up near an open window ?
