Teddy Bear Cleaning

Teddy bear cleaning: Just a spa

This is a continuing entry in the irregular series of “Just a spa”. 🙂

This teddy bear had been washed in the past, when his person was a child, but even then he never looked brand new. And today, years later, Mr. Huggy (that’s his name) was definitely looking a bit worse for wear after all his hugs and adventures. Here are his diagnosis photos:

Fortunately, Mr. Huggy’s fur was in good shape. He had velcro on his hands (so he could hug) that was worn though. So his person and I agreed on a treatment plan of a gentle spa and velcro replacement. Here he is in his bubble bath (you can see he’s already brightening up):

Here’s his heart being made and installed with a bit of his original stuffing:

And here he is, all better! Clean, stuffed, fur fluffed, and with new velcro so he can hug again!

His person’s reaction when he flew home? “He’s absolutely perfect!”
