Bad fur day? Japan’s 100 yen store Daiso has the solution!
Teddy bears and cuddly character plushies are, let’s face it, adorable and definitely not just for kids, but it’s difficult to keep them looking their best, since throwing them in the washing machine often results in clumpy stuffing and permanent bad fur days. Who’d have thought that performing a plushy makeover would be as simple as giving it a good brushing with a doggy brush from one of Japan’s magical 100 yen stores?

In fact, it seems that more than one person had the same idea to give their Duffy a sprucing-up!
And it even works on shaggy rugs and carpets, too, turning clumps into smooth and fluffy fibres.

We’ll be adding this little life hack to our arsenal the next time we’re faced with a messy rug or bed-head-ted situation.
