Cleaning your Soft Sculpture Puppet(s)
From time to time, lint and debris may accumulate on your puppet. You NEVER want to rub Antron (Muppet Fleece) as it will ball up like an old sweater from the 70's. Instead, obtain a sticky link removing roller from your favorite department store. (Usually about -.00) Roll the lint removing roller all over the puppet to remove stray hairs and fibers. If you cannot find a lint roller, go to your favorite home supply store and buy a roll of 1-1/2" blue painters masking tape. Using a piece about 4-6 inches long, blot all over your puppet to achieve the same effect as the roller.
In more extreme cases, use a vacuum cleaner set on the lowest setting and carefully vacuum the puppet.
If you have spots which need removal, try using a soft cloth with warm water and blot at the spot. If all else fails, use a drop of "Johnson's Baby Shampoo" (No more tears) and VERY lightly blot in small circular motions to try to remove the spot. Then rinse lightly several times, always being careful not to put any real pressure on the fabric which would cause it to ball up.
