This Week's Brag 2: Plushies Galore!

[MerryAnvil]

My family decided to spend the day thrifting/antiquing in 'The City' (aka OKC; we country folk don't get down there much lol I think the last time I went to OKC was several months ago). I was thinking to myself the other day how nice it would be to find some more pony plushies, and apparently God thought so too because I now have four more plushies than I did this morning!

I found:

Soapy Smiles for $2.00 at a thrift store

G4 Cheerilee plush for $3.00 at Salvation Army

Fluttershy Ty Plush that came in a $5.00 bag of misc. plushies at a thrift store (kept a couple of the Beanie Babies that came with her as well, they're cute!)

Rainbow Dash Ty Plush for $1.00 at an antique store

They're all nicely sanitized and had their hair washed now I'm happy to note that the ones that had stains have now had them successfully removed as well!

Gorgeous gals! I have such a weakness for pony plushies.

What fun! I love plushies.

So how do you sanitize your new buys? I usually just spritz 'em with Lysol or spot clean them with Resolve, but I'm always interested to see if someone has better methods.

Hehe thanks! I definitely think we're in a good spot for ponies!

Thank you, me too!

Me too! My family's a bit of a 'make everything you possibly can from scratch' family, so my sister actually makes a natural disinfectant spray that I use. I believe it has diluted alcohol and lemon juice in it, along with a couple herbal oils. I'll have to ask her exactly how she makes it. It works very well for the plushies! I just spray it on and then rub it in so it can get to work. It takes dirt out quite nicely. On the plushies that have hair I wash the hair with shampoo and condition it with fabric softener. Fabric softener does wonders for pony hair, especially the coarse plushie hair.

As for stains, I've found that with a bit of careful scrubbing you can actually use Magic Erasers to get the spots out! I've used it successfully several times, even on a poor Twilight Sparkle plush that had pen markings all over her hooves. The Eraser took them right out.
