Dolls & Animals
Hazel Village dolls and animals are made from organic cotton fleece. This material will show natural wear over time as your woodland friend becomes well-loved. We stuff our dolls and animals with polyfill, which is clean and hypoallergenic, and stays springy for a long time even if washed in hot water. It is also naturally fire-retardant, so it doesn't need to be treated with chemicals to comply with toy safety law.
If your Hazel Village friend gets a little grubby, we recommend the following: First, try spot cleaning with a sponge. If that's not enough, try hand washing in hot soapy water. Rinse well, squeeze all the water out, and air dry. If necessary, you can wash your doll or animal in the machine on the most gentle cycle. We suggest placing them in a delicates bag before they take the plunge. You can machine dry them on low, but be careful - the stuffing may clump.
Doll Clothing
We make doll clothing and accessories using all sorts of different fabrics and embellishments, so there is no definitive rule for laundering Hazel Village outfits. We generally recommend that you avoid washing items of doll clothing if possible, in order to maintain their best condition. If necessary you can spot-clean or hand-wash most items, then air dry.
