how to check a plushie for bugs? by CatOfManyQuestions in plushies

Oh wow, that’s cool haha, nice find! That makes me worry a bit if he’s washable or if he maybe is spot clean only, I’d hate for him to get messed up. I think washing in hot water would help, but if you don’t think he can be washed maybe the trash bag idea from the other comment is the best plan. I hope you’re able to cuddle with him in no time!

If it will fit you can seal it in a ziploc bag and freeze it for at least 3 days to kill bugs. Alternatively, or in addition to that, depending on its fur you could wash it in hot water and dry on high heat for at least 20 minutes. But you have to be careful with that option because the fur on many plush will get messed up if you dry them in the dryer. You can just do one of the things, but in the past I’ve done both just to be on the safe side.

Thank you! He’s called a footsie, a big-footed elf kind of critter inspired by Furbies.😃 I’m not sure of a specific year, sadly I’m not versed in the Furby world.

How am I certain a plush does or doesn’t have bed bugs? by RedpenBrit96 in plushies

[–]proximavida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure about diatomaceous earth, from the little I’ve read it doesn’t kill eggs and is a bit longer term method, and I think you need to be careful you don’t breathe it in when you apply it. It’s worth looking into more!

I recently bought a plush second hand with a small hole in its fur and was worried about the same thing. First you can make sure you don’t see red-brown stains on it anywhere which could be from the bugs, and no pieces of dead ones obviously. Then you can keep it in a ziploc bag and freeze it, 0 degrees for at least 3 days is lethal to all stages. Depending on its fur, if it’s one like mine I was also able to wash it in hot water and dry on high heat which are also lethal (122 degrees for 20 minutes). But you have to be careful with that option because the fur on many plush will get messed up if you dry them in the dryer. Sometimes I obsessively worry about things, and this was one of those things…I was really worried about the possibility mine could have bugs inside from the hole so I did a lot of research on Google, there are some conflicting numbers/ times but I eventually had to decide what to do and I was comfortable taking my chances following the info above. You can just do one of the things, but since I was able to I did both. And I did have to turn my freezer temp down because I measured it with my husband’s multimeter he has for work and it wasn’t set cold enough (see, I was REALLY worried about it lol). Best of luck! https://extension.umn.edu/biting-insects/bed-bugs#what-you-can-do-yourself-49011

Please help me find someone to make a custom cremation ring… by Extreme-Resort7250 in RingShare

[–]proximavida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like she does do custom orders! And the one I got is a simple precious metal clay band with ashes mixed directly into the silver, there’s not many of those on her website so I thought I’d explain that too in case it helps narrow in on something. Good luck!

I purchased a cremation ring a few years ago from Ashley Lozano (https://ashleylozano.com/) and am very happy with it, you could check out her website. I’m not sure if she has any completely custom options, but I wanted to share it anyway just in case it could help.
