Stuffed animals with any foam parts, including foam beads like the ones in bean bag chairs, can not be put in a washing machine.
Stuffed animals with foam parts can still benefit from surface cleanings. Just sprinkle your stuffed animal with dry baking soda. After 25 minutes brush the baking soda off. This process will clean smells out and clean any surface dirt from your stuffed animal. You can also use baby powder.
For bad stain or soiling on your stuffed animal, use a gently all purpose cleaner. Ideally an organic, safe, multi purpose cleaner. Then take a soft scrub brush or toothbrush to the stuffed animal, particularly cleaning the soiled areas, wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp towel and let your freshly washed stuffed animal dry.
