Start with the care label
Every Snuggle Bunnies plush arrives with a sewn-in care label. Before you wash or clean Little Penelope, check that label for any batch-specific instructions. The guidance below follows the supplied care evidence for the current version of the toy, but labels can change between production runs.
How to clean Little Penelope
For everyday freshness, spot cleaning is the safest method. Use a damp, soft cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap (if needed) and dab the soiled area gently. Avoid rubbing the fur, which can mat the ultra-soft blossom pink pile.
If a deeper clean is needed, a gentle hand wash is acceptable. Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge Penelope and swish her gently – do not wring or twist. Rinse thoroughly in clean water until no soap remains.
After washing, press out excess water with a clean towel (do not wring). Reshape her floppy ears and body, then lay her flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
What to avoid
- Machine washing: Not recommended. The agitation and spin cycle can damage the ultra-soft fur and the toy's shape.
- Tumble drying: Do not tumble dry. High heat can melt synthetic fibers or cause shrinkage.
- Dry cleaning: Avoid dry cleaning chemicals; they may harm the fur and the toy's internal materials.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The heat will damage the plush fabric.

Daily care tips
Between washes, keep Penelope fresh by airing her out occasionally. If she picks up dust, a gentle brush with a soft-bristle (like a clean baby hairbrush) can restore her fur's fluffiness. Avoid exposing her to prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade her blossom pink coat.
Because she's a cuddly companion for little ones, consider rotating her with other toys to reduce wear. Spot clean promptly after any spills or outdoor adventures to prevent stains from setting.
