How to Clean a Koodle Cushion: Unicorn and Dog

Quick answer

You can safely machine wash the Koodle Cushion on a gentle cycle using cold water, then air dry. Check the care tag first and always remove any loose dirt before washing.

Step-by-step washing guide

1. Check the care tag: Look for the sewn-in label on the cushion. It will confirm the recommended wash temperature and drying method. Most Koodle Cushions can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Never ignore the tag – it's the only official guide for your specific cushion.
2. Remove loose dirt and stains: Gently brush off any dust or crumbs with a soft brush. For visible stains, dab a small amount of mild detergent on a damp cloth and blot the area – don't rub, as that can push the stain deeper into the velvety fur. Pre-treating stains before the wash helps prevent them from setting.
3. Machine wash on gentle cycle: Place the cushion in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection. Use cold water and a gentle cycle with a mild, color-safe detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they can damage the fur and filling. A mesh bag prevents the cushion from snagging or losing its shape.
4. Air dry completely: After washing, squeeze out excess water gently – do not wring. Lay the cushion flat on a clean towel in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight. Fluff it occasionally as it dries to redistribute the filling. Do not use a tumble dryer unless the care tag specifically says it's safe. Air drying keeps the filling evenly distributed and the fur soft.
