If a teddy bear is wormed, exposed to germs, or has mildew on it, further disinfection and sterilization procedures must be implemented. The specific method is as follows:
Freezing method:
Teddy bears that need to be removed from mites and antibacterials can be placed in a sealed plastic bag and placed in the freezer of the refrigerator to sterilize at low temperature for 24 hours. Note that this method does not work with sawdust and foam filled Classic Bears.
Sun exposure:
In order to make the teddy bear look clean and easy to store, moderate sunlight exposure can also prevent the bear from shedding hair and getting wet, and it can also improve the situation that the sound generator is unclear and silent due to long-term humidity. It is a simple and easy dehumidification method. .
Stitching method:
When the teddy bear is damaged, it can be sent to the original factory for repair, but only the teddy bear made by the agent or famous factory can enjoy this kind of service. If the damage is not serious, you can find sutures of similar color to repair by yourself. There are also special bear hospitals abroad to deal with these “disabled” bears, but unfortunately there is no such “medical” institution in China.
Replacement method:
Refurbishment of teddy bears usually applies to vintage teddy bears. It is best to fully communicate with the operator before replacing the fur of a teddy bear with severely damaged fur, and provide detailed information on the bear’s prototype, such as pictures, otherwise the bear after “beauty skinning” may not be the one you are familiar with before. The teddy bear is gone, and its own value will be greatly reduced or worthless due to improper replacement.
