    Wow, it really does look almost like brand new. I've got an old Popple from my childhood that I'd be half tempted to restore... but at the same time its current well-worn state is almost like a record of all the years I've had it.

    Of all the toys you chose to showcase a clean…. You chose the EXACT same popple I loved as a kid and whom I still have all these years who I dropped in a paddling pool when I was 5, and never recovered despite the cleaning… as a cruel joke my mum used to call her “Pretty Ugly” not Pretty Bit 💀. And it was her idea to chuck her in a pillow case and toss her in a dryer after her little *ahem* swim!
    But I still love her. I don’t know if i could even try to change her back after all these years, but thanks to your video, I’d say that’s a sign to give this a go! Thanks for the vid. I’m saving this!

    I'll be 40 in September and literally every toy in your intro I recognize and love! Glad I found this channel since I've only recently decided to fill some shelves with old keepsakes, and they often require a lot of TLC before display. Thank you for this instruction!

    The Popples were so cute and had such a good sense of humor! You did a great job on the makeover of the Popple that speaks like Wordsworth from Heathcliff and the Catillac cats!

    So popples are my favorite 80s toys. I had one as a child and I low key collect them whenever I see them. My childhood one is pretty messy because by the time I was a kid it was already really old

    This is very useful! I have a question, do you think while brushing around eyes that covering them with something like paper or napkins would protect them? Or would the brush be too sharp for that?

    • @TwiceLovedTrinkets
      @TwiceLovedTrinkets  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use my finger to protect it, and keep the brush off of areas I don't want to accidentally scratch. If there is fur really stuck together near those parts, the metal comb may be what you need to use to get closer without damaging the plastic.

      You could probably use painter's tape? 🤔 Enough tacky to stay put, but leave no residue

    Hi do you know how to stuffed animal without a pet brush/ animal brush because i dont have one. My stuffed anymal was fluffy but then one day i washed it with water and soap and air dryed it and now its now fluffy :( do you know how to fix my problem or what i did wrong?

    • @AlexRaze
      @AlexRaze 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Try a hair comb with fine teeth if you have one around, or maybe even a clean (new) toothbrush, though both of those will take quite a bit longer than a pet brush. They should sell very cheap but useful pet brushes in places like dollar tree or animal shops. I got a cute pink cat brush for around $5 at a petsmart. ^^

    • @TwiceLovedTrinkets
      @TwiceLovedTrinkets  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I haven't found a way that I am happy with besides the pet slicker brush, it should help take care of it if you can pick one up.

    I would think the flatiron would be bad for the fur

    • @TwiceLovedTrinkets
      @TwiceLovedTrinkets  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hair has to be wet or damp, flat iron has to be low temp and this works best on hair that was already heat damaged in the dryer that has clumped down to the body.

    • @me2theshell

      This video helped save a vintage Eeyore I was gifting my daughter that I threw into the dryer and ruined his "hair." The conditioner/flat iron trick did an amazing job. Thank you for sharing! Will definitely be more cautious in the future.
