Dr. Chheda – 🧸 We all want to feel loved and cuddled, soft and snuggly. Of course we do! Kids want to as well too. That’s why they have so many stuffed animals, and it’s okay for kids to have stuffed animals when they’re sleeping on their bed.
⚠️ But just remember, stuffed animals can harbor allergens, lots of dust mites. So all you want to do is just wash them at least once a week. Put them in the dryer on high heat for 20 minutes to kill all the dust mites.
💚 Kids are sleeping with the animals for 8, 10, 12 hours at a time, so they’re breathing everything in. They can comfort themselves, they can cuddle themselves, but you do want to make sure that the stuffed animals are clean. So just stick them in the dryer for 20 minutes on high heat once a week, and that should kill all the dust mites.
