How to Clean and Restick a Window Clinger Plush

Quick Answer

To clean and restick a plush Window Clinger, gently hand-wash the plush, let it air-dry completely, and then press the suction cups firmly onto a clean, smooth surface—no extra adhesive needed.

Step-by-Step Cleaning and Resticking

1. Remove the plush from the window: Gently peel the plush away from the window, starting from one corner to avoid pulling the suction cups too hard. Check that all suction cups are intact and not cracked.
2. Dust the plush surface: Use a lint roller or a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and pet hair from the plush fabric. Do this before any wet cleaning to avoid rubbing dirt into the fibers.
3. Spot clean with mild soap: Dampen a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Gently wipe the plush fabric, avoiding the suction cups. Never submerge the plush or soak the fabric.
4. Wipe the suction cups: Using a separate damp cloth (no soap), wipe each suction cup to remove oils and residue. Dry them with a soft towel. Ensure the cups are completely dry before reattaching.
5. Air-dry the plush: Lay the plush flat on a dry towel and let it air-dry completely. Do not use a hairdryer or place it in direct sunlight. Wait until the fabric is fully dry to prevent mildew.
6. Clean the window surface: Wipe the window or smooth surface with a glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Let it dry completely. A clean, dry surface is key for a strong suction seal.
7. Press and restick: Press the plush against the window, pushing firmly on each suction cup for a few seconds. Start from the center and work outward. If it doesn't stick, repeat the cleaning of the cups and surface.
