How to Care for Your Tatty Teddy

How to Care for Your Tatty Teddy

Your Tatty Teddy isn’t just a cuddly companion, but rather a keepsake full of love, memories, and meaning. Whether it’s a gift from someone special or a treasured part of your collection, with a little care, you can keep Tatty Teddy looking as good as the day you first met.

Follow these Tips to Keep Your Tatty Teddy in Tip Top Condition

  • Surface Wash Only: Me to You bears are designed to be surface washed — no machine washing or soaking!
  • Use Mild Detergent: Mix a small amount of mild detergent with lukewarm water (around 30°C).
  • Gently Clean: Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently dab and clean the surface. Avoid scrubbing too hard to preserve Tatty Teddy’s softness and stitching.
  • Drying: Let your Tatty Teddy air dry naturally in a warm, dry place away from direct sunshine. Make sure Tatty Teddy is completely dry before cuddling again!

Extra Tips

Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach — they can damage the fabric and fade the colours. Keep away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading. Store in a cool, dry place if not on display — especially if you’re keeping Tatty Teddy as a collectable.

To Last a Lifetime...

Tatty Teddy is made to be loved for years to come. With a little care, Tatty Teddy will stay just as huggable as the day he arrived.
