My Creative LifeStyle | Handmade with Love & Care

Each handmade toy from My Creative LifeStyle is individually crafted with attention to detail. With proper care, your special handmade creation can remain a treasured keepsake for years to come.

Washing & Cleaning Instructions

• Gentle hand washing is recommended for washable crocheted, knitted and fabric toys.

• Use cool or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C) with a mild detergent.

• Gently clean the toy without excessive rubbing, stretching or scrubbing.

• Do not use bleach, harsh chemicals or fabric softeners.

• Do not wring or twist, as this may damage the stitching, stuffing or shape.

• For toys containing delicate decorations, special fibres or non-washable components, gently spot clean with a damp cloth instead.

Drying Instructions

• Gently press out excess moisture using a clean towel.

• Reshape the toy while damp.

• Lay flat on a clean, dry towel in a well-ventilated area.

• Allow the toy and its stuffing to dry completely before storing or using.

• Do not tumble dry unless specifically permitted on the individual product label.

• Avoid direct heat, heaters and prolonged exposure to strong sunlight.

General Care & Storage

• Handle handmade toys gently to preserve their stitching and shape.

• Avoid pulling on ears, limbs, tails or decorative attachments.

• Keep away from sharp objects, open flames and excessive heat.

• Store in a clean, dry environment away from moisture.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause colours to fade.

• Regularly inspect for loose threads, damaged seams, exposed stuffing or weakened attachments.

Important Toy Safety Information

Some handmade toys feature securely fitted craft safety eyes, buttons, ribbons or other decorative components.

Please note:

• Plastic safety eyes and other small attachments may present a choking hazard if detached.

• Toys containing small parts are not suitable for children under 3 years of age.
