You might like to take turns telling different parts of a story to each other. Senger soft toys are traditional and beautiful, handmade using only the finest of natural materials, including pure sheep’s wool and organic cotton. They meet strict quality, safety and pollutant controls to ensure their toys are completely safe for children of all ages. After every production step, each Senger animal is blown with compressed air and at the end of production that are also brushed and vacuumed. However, some loose fibres and fluff can remain; this is considered normal for Senger and can be vacuumed up. Most Senger animals are filled with sheep's wool from controlled organic animal husbandry, obtained from wandering shepherds in the Eifel region. Sheep's wool filters pollutants from the room air, has a temperature-regulating effect, and absorbs moisture. Sheep's wool does have a natural odour. The smell is caused by lanolin, the natural wool fat that protects against dirt and makes the wool waterproof. It also protects the individual wool hair from drying out and becoming scratchy. The smell on your Senger toy will mostly disappear after a while, but never completely. Care instructions: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent or wool detergent. Please do not wring, rub or brush. After washing, squeeze out carefully and leave to dry lying on a towel, moving regularly to speed up the drying process. The wet smell from the wool will disappear once your friend is dry. Do not spin, tumble dry, brush, or wring, or dryclean. Do not use fabric softener as this might affect the dye. If any discolouration appears after washing, your Senger animal might have been left in the water for too long or water was not squeezed out properly after washing. If the fabric is left wet for a long continuous period, the dye from the warp yarn of the woven plush begins to bleed and the colour is transferred to the toy. Washing the item for a second time will generally help to remove discolouration.
