Hello, sorry if this seems like a silly question but my DD who is 4 has a soft toy (it's a cat) that she takes eeeeeeverywhere, and it is starting to show, it is filthy! She is very attached to it, but it needs a clean. I was thinking of putting it in the washing machine, but I am scared that it wont last the wash. And I am not sure she would cope with the loss of it right now. Am I okay to put it through, or does anyone have any suggestions on how I can give it a clean. Thanks for any ideas!!!
