My kids love plushies and it is such a headache for me. Especially when they spill beverages/puke/sneeze on their toys, it is extremely difficult to clean up. I have tried throwing some toys into the washing machine. But maybe because I am not that great a homemaker, most of their toys never survived the wash. They would come out distorted. :'(
The husband came across the Toyomi Spot and Stain Deep Cleaner and I have to say this is one life changer which I would encourage every household to have. Basically it works like those deep cleaner firms that charge exorbitantly. Just that you can do it yourself at home.
We really love this because it is quite portable and does what it promises. Just using water alone, we managed to suck out so much gunk. We used it on our sofa, mattresses as well. It is quite therapeutic working the machine so my husband has gotten addicted to cleaning all things fabric in our house! Great for me. :)
My only grouse is that the machine can be quite noisy when it is activated. But it can be overcome, my husband puts on noise cancelling headbuds when using the machine. I would either bring the kids out or keep them in the room. So far, I have read the reviews and most users share my opinion as me too. :)
