Awesome Instructable! I always feel bad for those guys that are just too dirty with no way to clean them.

You can also toss them in your regular washing machine, but only in a gentle cycle, cold water only and if you have them in a pillowcase/laundry bag. What gets most upholstered items is usually the heat of the water or the dryer; fake fur will melt into a crispy mess and it's all over if that happens :(

Yeah, we usually just throw them in the washing machine.
