🇯🇵 Japan cleaner goes viral with spa-like service for plushies A worn-out Pikachu plushie, tired teddy bear or stained stuffed animal can all get a new lease of life at a Japanese laundry service, making beloved toys squeaky clean again.

@AFP That's a Miffy! 😍🐰

We are truly grateful that our stuffed animal cleaning service has been introduced in this way. At Cleaning Yonmarusan, we believe that each stuffed animal carries irreplaceable memories and emotions for its owner. Our mission is not simply to clean them, but to carefully preserve and restore the feelings and stories behind each piece. Every item is handled individually with the utmost care, respecting the customer’s wishes — sometimes even choosing to leave certain marks or signs of wear when they hold sentimental value. We are deeply honored to receive requests not only from across Japan but also from customers around the world. It is a privilege for us to help maintain and pass on the culture of cherishing stuffed animals through our work. We will continue to approach each request with sincerity and gratitude, delivering both cleanliness and peace of mind to our customers.

@AFP Exactly

@AFP So sweet! We need this service in France too~

@AFP こんなサービスがある日本ですが、ミニカーを丁寧に分解して塗装し直し、まるで新品のように蘇らせてくれる職人もいます。小さなものにも手間をかける文化なんです。 こちらはその職人に頼んだ3インチのダットサン510です。
