1. Soak & Scrub Method

This method requires a bit of elbow grease but is great for stubborn stains:

  • Fill a bowl or sink with warm water and a few drops of liquid dish soap.
  • Soak the toy in the solution for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Use a scrub brush to gently lift the stain. Avoid using too much pressure that could damage the toy’s texture.
  • Rinse the toy in clean, cold water and lay flat to air dry.

2. Baking Soda & Vinegar Paste

This cleaning method is simple and easy:

  • Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 tablespoons of white vinegar to create a paste.
  • Use a soft cloth to gently rub the paste onto the stained area.
  • Keep the paste on the stain for up to 20 minutes, then rinse off with cold water.
  • If needed, repeat the process to remove any remaining residue.
  • Lay flat to air dry.

3. Wipe away with Rubbing Alcohol

Rubbing alcohol can quickly take care of berry stains:

  • Dampen a white cloth or cotton swab with rubbing alcohol.
  • Gently blot the stained area until the stain starts to lift.
  • Rinse with cold water and lay flat to dry.

4. Use a Stain Remover

A store-bought stain remover or pre-wash spray is ideal for tougher stains:

  • Generously spray all stained areas with the stain remover.
  • Allow the product to soak in for 30 minutes.
  • Gently scrub the area with a soft brush or cloth.
  • Rinse with cold water and lay flat to dry.
