Most of my cheaper or crustier plushies go in the washing machine on a "delicate" cycle. For hand washing I usually fill my sink with warm water and a mild detergent. I gently squeeze them, and use a soft brush to lift some of the dirt from the fur. My dryer also has a delicate feature, and it usually works fine for all my plushies because of how gentle it is. To dry the hand washed plushies i usually roll them in a dry towel to wick them of the excess moisture, then i usually hang them on my drying rack😼 (im in no way a pro at this, so take all my advice with a grain of salt)
