How to Skin & Wash Your Furby - Cleaning 1998 Furby Tutorial - Sewing Ears - Refurbish - 90s Toys

- Here is a tutorial on how to remove your Furby from its skin, wash the fur, and reattach the ears! This tutorial is being done on my 1998-style Tie Dye Furby, "Pastel", who was shipped to me in poor condition. This Furby had matted fur with some sort of substance caked into its fur as well as discoloration.
What you'll need for this tutorial:
- Scissors
- Thread in a matching color
- A needle
- A tub/water dish
- Soap (I used laundry detergent)
- Hanger for drying (Unless you have a clothes line)
- Brush or comb
- Small screwdriver (depending on how your Furby face plate is secured)
- Optional: Glue to secure the face plate back on (if yours wasn't screwed on), plastic bag if you want to try and preserve the swing tag (didn't work for me but maybe you'll have better luck!).

It's amazing to see how resilient our robot friends can be, still working after being stored away in unfavorable conditions, garages, storage units, closets, etc. for years. All they need is a little tlc ❤
Also a tip for anyone who doesn't want to sew the ears on for any reason: earrings work as a good substitiute! I frequently take apart my Furbies for customizations/repairs so sewing them on every time would be a waste of thread. I got five packs of cute earrings for $1 each at Dollar General and they hold the ears in place really well, plus they also make your Furby stylish!
I love furby this makes me feel graet
Every time I hear a furby say "weeee!!"I get incredibly happy and idk why
Me too! ❤️
Everytime i hear a furby go “yuummmm” it makes me so happy
Everytime I hear a furby go "gRIoocDioOkIuO" it makes me so happy
I love that these little monster still have such a cool fandom.
Seeing a furby being restored really warms my heart!!
Mine too! I just cleaned a sad, broken Furby today and I’m amazed at the difference! ❤️ It’s so satisfying to clean them up and give them new life!
For the tag, you could always take it off before a cleaning and then reattach it with a needle and thread, or invest in a tag gun.
Additionally, for getting a white back to bright, try making a paste of baking soda and water to work into the browned areas and then rinse with vinegar before washing again with soap/detergent.
Thank you for an in depth tutorial on skinning and cleaning the furby!! I haven’t found one detailed enough for me to confidently start cleaning my furbs but now I’m ready!!!
I’m so glad this video has helped you! Thank you so much for the positive feedback! 😊
I got a furby from goodwill, it was in pretty rough shape, had a funky smell and looks like it had mold starting to grow on him had to use bleach and everything! Thank for this tutorial it help me out a lot!!
Oh wow that’s a bad one! I’ve never seen one with mold before. 😅 Poor thing has had it rough! I hope you were able to restore him! 💜
@@retrofurby6533 oh yes! he's in much better shape now.
Did the bleach alter its fur color any? :o
Yummy, Furby soup!! Can't wait to buy a Furby of my own 💛💛💛💛💛
OMG! I just got back my old furby today and I was looking how can I wash the fabric, for my surprise...it’s the same FURBY MODEL!!!! OMGGG
it got reFURBISHed
Haha yes! 🌈 💕
AYYYY
I'm happy that your furby works.. at the beginning of your video you said he did not. So good news! My furby has just been awakened after many years of being stored away...and she (Delola she says) works just fine - although she wants to sleep a lot. Cant wait to introduce her to my grandkids! Enjoyed your video!
Thank you for posting this tutorial! I finally skinned & washed a furby I bought after procrastinating on it for 2 years lol. I'm going to make it new eye chips next, good little lockdown project
Gonna attempt to wash the Furby I bought my little sister. She became a fan when she went to college. I feel like I can get it done. The Furby is the same as your's except the color. It also doesn't wake up so I'm hoping to get the motor running like you showed here. Wish me luck! ✌️
So, I just scored a busted second hand furb and I instantly began searching these sorts of videos to get rid of the grime I saw on the photos, and what are the odds, mine is also a tie dye Furby! Thank you so much for this, now Ill be able to give my little guy a wash without losing my mind.
Edit: I did it! Now he's all radiant again, thank you so much!
This was a lovely tutorial! You were very clear with explaining what was happening and it was enjoyable to watch :)
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰
Awsome!!
my cousin's furby is pretty dirty.
i bought a new speaker because the last one was broken and now ill wash him!
Oh that’s so great you are replacing the speaker! ❤️ How cool! I hope all works out for your cousin’s Furby and you are able to get him nice and clean! 😊
@@retrofurby6533 yes!! the tutorial worked thak you sooo much!!
@@JoseRamos-hp2vg Yay thanks for the update, I’m so glad to hear that! 💕
@@retrofurby6533 it works! i unmuted my muted furby!!
I recently got a gray Furby named Oakley from a friend of mine and needed to clean his fur up. This video was super helpful and I was able to get his fur off without any problems! Now I’m just waiting for the fur to dry, but I can already tell Oakley’s looking a lot better!
Thanks for the tutorial!
I recently bought a broken furby- very dirty- so I hope this’ll help!
Yay that’s great! I wish you luck with your new Furby! 💜
Haha... I bought the same Furby, with the same colours, in 1998 in a shop. He has still a place in my living room and he's still alive and kicking... 😊
Thank you for showing the face plate going back back on. It was really helpful.
I know this is old, but tie dye furbys are supposed to be an off white! It's actually a very pretty design choice imo
i just won 4 furbies on ebay to take apart and customize and this was the perfect tutorial to feel confident in doing so 🖤
Watching this video was so much fun I do have a suggestion though about the tag I do suggest you get a tag gun so you don’t have to wash the Furby with the tag
I love this tutorial! Very descriptive and helpful! Thanks!
You’re welcome! 🥰
Amazing work u did! Thank u sooo much 4 sharing! This brings back so many memories! I had this exact purple tye dye furby in 1998 when I was a kid! I loved my furby soo much! I'm getting another 1! & now I'm getting one 4 my son too! He's 8. I was 8 when I got my furby.
Oh my gosh! I wish he was mine. This is amazing. I'm still trying to figure out how to make my furbys voice work again
It's a clean Furby! It looks happy :) I have a question. Do I not need to glue it to the bottom of furby's body? Do I just have to tie up the ears?
They look like a cloud afterwards! Nice job
You're so delicate with your furby!!!! I love watching!!!
This is so beautiful and amazing and also a really nice color
Trying to wash my furbys so im glad how clear this video is. My only thing is the zip tie like, how exactly do i get to it with out damaging my furby??
An exacto knife or similar small blade works well, cuticle scissors are also a good option. The worst thing that can happen is cutting into the plastic a bit but you would have to go real hard to do serious damage.
i have a similar question: my furb has a super tight ziptie and i want to know if there’s a way i can cut the bottom without damaging it
@@frogholder so far I've just risked it with scissors and used a file to smooth the damage 😔 Not ideal tho. I think maybe, if you get a thin enough screwdriver and wrap like painters tape around it that might help? I plan on trying it with my new furb.
All we need is that bit of space for our sharp tools to get into.
@@StrangeLatte i see i see.. thank you for the tip! i'll try it out and hope for the best
@@frogholder hope it helps and good luck!
Very straightforward video. I appreciate.
Thx for this video! I bought 2 busted up old furbies off eBay and I needed a tutorial on how to clean them :)
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm planning on washing my future Furbys and current Furbys so they're fluffy and clean
Also can you make a tutorial for how to give Furbys the covid test? (The screwdriver trick) because I want to know where the motor is and what it should feel like and how to turn it on
thanks! getting my Og 1998 furby tomorrow he doesn’t look in great condition so this is gonna help!
Its funny how I look up how to wash my furby's fur and your tutorial with the same pastel furby comes up lol Mine also had the tag on but I am going to take it off and reattach it since I am so worried about the bag leaking like yours sadly did. Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Great tips thanks 💝
-FLASH BACKS OF TATTLE TALE-
BEAUTIFUL
Don't worry, real Furbies aren't mean like that :)
This was very helpful ❤
aurgh thank you so much!! I don't own any '98s but I really needed a tutorial for cleaning up the fur, I have two '12s that really needed cleaned!
There's actually a tutorial for the 2012s and furby booms on the channel
I think older furbies should've made for older people, they're so nostalgic
My gf got me a tie dye furby for christmas and I think she payed 50 for it. While it seemed clean but she washed it for me. One thing I absolutely love about the tie dye furbies is that they are all different! as mine has a lot more green on the face
Someone was selling that Furby near me for $15 sealed in box, but someone got to it before me.
Oh wow, I'm so sorry you weren't able to snag it! That was such a great deal too! :(
@@retrofurby6533 thanks maybe next time! You should make an Instagram of all of your furbies
@@suttonm9673 Yes I do have one! It is @retrofurby 😊 If you have one let me know and I’ll follow you!
@@retrofurby6533 ok I will re-activate mine and follow you
Thank you so much. I was trying to get the Fur off a adult Furby that I just got but I got stuck on a part. My skunk doesn't have any screws on the faceplate.. Idk what to do..
Thank u this helped a lot !
You’re welcome, I’m so glad to hear that it helped you! You are always welcome to reach out if you have any questions that I might be able to help with! 💜
just got a kiwi furby in the mail that I'm planning to do customization with. While it seems pretty clean I am going to wash it just to make sure. Especially since I might be dying some of the fur its best that it will be clean
hiiiii i got i furby yesterday i want to clean and i was wondering if you have to hang dry the furby outside or could i do it inside?
Great video! How did you reattach the paper tag?
For a more speedy drying process, would a blow dryer on a cold setting work? Thanks for the tips!
would you drink the furby water?
what if i drink the furby water? Can I drink the furby water?
Drink it, its full of vitamins and minerals
This was very helpful thank you! I do have one question tho, the strings in one of my Furbies feet is gone so his foot is just one big lump, not 3 separate toes. What do you think the best way to get his foot looking back to normal? Thanks
Hey there! I sew the strings back using the closest color of string I have and knot it on the underside. I actually have a video of me fixing the foot of one that I never posted, as the original video it was a part of was scrapped. I still have it and can upload it as it’s own mini video tutorial when I have time this weekend if you’d like! 😊
I have a question will soap work the same as laundry detergent?
Hello, I have a question about skinning my Furby. When I try to cut the zip tie, I can’t get the lining to open up enough to cut it. When I look at it I don’t see any threads holding it together that I have to cut, it just wont move. The zip tie doesn’t move either so I can’t get to the thinner part and away from the head of the zip tie. Should I just cut the lining to get more room to cut it? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m just very nervous about skinning my furby and want to do it right. 😁
I just got a Rainbow Sparkle one at a flea market today. Is there anything I should do differently because it has tinsel?
Also it has yellowed plastic, what should I do to fix that?
That background music 👌
Your vids are so great I also have a furby you can make more videos
I’ve been your subscribed for months, do I have to sow the ears back?
who ells is here because the furby fandom is feral and you want to make a cursed custom furby
this video was very helpful but it's also weird I was looking for a video for this and we're in the exact same situation. I found this same Furby at a thrift store and it works great but it's super dirty
How do you re attach the furby skin to the body? Or does it just stay?
It just stay
Have you considered trying “Invisible Thread” 🤔.Great video BTW
I got a Furby connect he has like weird mats with like weird stuff in it
What is your opinion on long furby?
Can you make more vids today i am geting 2 furbys
Mmm Furby soup.
Whats msa?
MSA stands for ‘Me Sleep Again’ which is a bug that some 1998 Furby encounter. They will wake up and then go right back to sleep. Some will fully wake up after a few tries and others won’t ever fully wake up. ☹️ Some can be fixed by holding down the tongue and the reset button at the same time. I have one Furby that has MSA and I have to do the reset method a few times to get it to fully awaken.
😖oh wow!!!! I had no idea.
Its furby narcolepsy.
@@KAtAttackBenson17 Yes sadly it is! :( Thankfully it is just with the 1998 though and not other models too!
I'm watching this video to clean the exact Furby you're showing 💀
Wow, I bet this will help when I get my Furby! He is white so I bet he is gonna get dirty 24/7.
I used to afraid to my soul of these things I just got over my fear.
Im sad now because i only have a furby connect :(
25$!?!?!??! Thats cheap for a furby working or not
I keep losing my nerve when I attempt to skin one of my furbies. It's one I bought online, so it's not my childhood furby. But I just get so nervous when I prepare to do it! 😥
Furby
skinning them feels inhumane even though thats how you clean them
I have one. And I have to ask one question. WHY IN THE FRIG WOULD A SANE PERSON OWN ONE !!! I had to have been really stoned. As of now it is now a handgun target.
😂😂🤣🤣
