    Place your teddy bear inside a mesh bag and toss it in the washer. Use 1 tbsp of laundry detergent and distilled white vinegar for the rinse cycle to deodorize the toy and remove any detergent residue. Then, let it air dry or tumble dry it on low heat.

    Yes, you can. I would recommend putting the bear in a laundry bag though for protection.

    How long does it take to dry your teddy bear after bathing it?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how wet the teddy was. If it was super wet, maybe a few days to two weeks. If it was only a little wet, maybe just five minutes to one day.

    Sure. Just use detergent instead of body wash or shampoo. If you want, use rinse-out conditioner to make your teddy's fur extra soft. Just make sure your teddy is dry before playing with it again.
