Learn how to safely clean and maintain your Youtooz BMO plush from Adventure Time. Simple steps to keep your 9-inch collectible looking fresh without damaging the fabric or details.
Quick answer
To keep your BMO plush clean, spot-treat stains with a mild soap and water solution, air dry only, and store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Why gentle cleaning matters for this plush
The BMO plush features an embroidered screen face and small printed details that can be damaged by harsh scrubbing or machine washing. Because the plush is 9 inches tall and lightly stuffed, it's best to treat it like a delicate collectible rather than a toy. Spot cleaning preserves the shape and keeps the screen-printed smile from peeling.
One trade-off: spot cleaning may not fully remove deep stains, but it avoids the risk of matting the fabric or losing the plush's softness. For collectors who display the plush rather than handle it frequently, this method keeps the item in near-mint condition.
How to clean your BMO plush
- 1. Prepare a gentle cleaning solution: Mix a few drops of mild liquid detergent (like baby shampoo or wool wash) into a bowl of cool water. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. A common mistake is using hot water, which can set stains and shrink the fabric.
- 2. Spot test on a hidden area: Dip a clean white cloth into the solution and dab it on the bottom seam or back of the plush. Wait 10 minutes to check for color bleeding or damage. Always test first—dark or printed fabrics may react differently to moisture.
- 3. Blot stains gently: Dip a fresh cloth into the solution, wring it out until damp, and blot the stained area. Work from the outside of the stain inward. Do not scrub or rub. Rubbing can push dirt deeper into the fibers or damage the screen-printed face.
- 4. Rinse with a damp cloth: Use a second cloth dampened with plain cool water to blot away soap residue. Repeat until no suds remain. Leftover soap can attract dust and leave a sticky feel.
- 5. Air dry flat away from heat: Place the plush on a clean towel in a well-ventilated area, reshaping it gently. Do not use a dryer, radiator, or direct sunlight. Heat can warp the plush's shape and fade the printed design over time.
- 6. Store properly when not on display: Keep the plush in a dust-free shelf or display case, away from windows and humidity. If storing long-term, place it in a breathable cotton bag. Plastic bags trap moisture and can cause mildew or yellowing.
