How to Clean and Maintain Your Weighted Emotional Support Hug Buddy

Proper care keeps the polyester plush coat velvety soft and protects the internal clay beads for years of dependable snuggles.

• Never Submerge: Do not machine wash or submerge the clay beads in water.

• Air Dry Completely: Allow your plush buddy to dry thoroughly before storing or reheating.

Always ensure the fabric is 100% dry to the touch before placing your plush companion in the microwave or freezer. Store your buddy in a cool, dry place when not in use.
