Title: Cleaning Flocked ponies
Post by: charlatan on August 03, 2017, 06:52:24 PM: What's your favorite way to clean REALLY dirty flocked ponies? Cold water and dawn--with a tooth brush?

Thanks for the help!

This is what I used to do! It didn't ever take any of the really nasty stuff out, but I was afraid I would bleach the cutie marks or something if I used anything harsher.

I love threads like this. The oxy clean is a good idea.

I think I try to go with oxy clean next time maybe that might help my so softs when I clean another bunch.

Oh wow. I can see how that would be super effective. We still have some left over from steaming our carpet a few weeks ago... did you dilute it like crazy? Hopefully the ponies didn't smell bad after?

The stuff we have doesn't smell bad so no dilution necessary. But I let it soak in for a few minutes before blotting it off with water. Then soaking.
