How to wash a (bootleg) Fumo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Fumorns everyone, some of my friends have asked me how to clean bootlegs since they are of lower quality and could possibly not survive a regular bath, but having lived with an insane amount of plushies for my entire lifetime I'm here to show that that's wrong and my lovable, cute, trusty, amazing, soft, beautiful, smile-enchanting Marisa bootleg is helping me. (She's already clean I know, but so are all of my other Fumos and bootlegs, this video is only to demonstrate)
Apart from how you would usually go on about washing plushies that don't have washing instructions on them, things to keep in mind are that bootlegs usually use a way higher amount of glue and have lower quality stitching, so don't pull too hard on things, don't squeeze them in the wrong way and don't overdo it with detergent/cleaning agent to not get rid of the glue (though if you do, that's not the end of the world, your Fumo is not going to combust from this)
Written out instructions for lazy people:
| fill sink/bowl/tub with cold water
| use mild cleaning agents, like mild soap or shampoo
| when squeezing your Fumo's face, do not squish from the sides
| clean either by hand, with a soap, or a toothbrush (or all of them)
| you can let your Fumo soak for a while before starting, if it's stained badly
| be wary of not submerging glued parts for too long so the glue doesn't die
| no need to soak your Fumo if you only want to do minor surface cleaning
| brush along the fabric for finer fabric parts (horizontally across the face)
| don't apply too much force over the eyebrows and mouth
| to dry, squish out water, rub with towel, leave it to dry

finally, a normal fumo cleaning video without fumo abuses
Why is this comment so funny but true at the same time
This is why I'm afraid to wash a bootleg, because bootleg have glue and most are poorly sewn, so I won't be able to glue and sew like how it was before washing
Bootleg or not. A fumo is a fumo.
That is what my bootleg fumo wants to hear.
I agree. I'm looking for the best bootleg fumo i can buy but i cant decide cuz there are TOO MANY of them on aliexpress. I cand decide. All looks same on photos but not in reality.
I agree
while I do say a lot of don'ts in this video, do note that it's very hard to actually damage your Fumo by washing it, so don't be afraid of cleaning them! All of the measures I mention are precautions to ensure a long and healthy Fumo life, your Fumo is not going to die if you mess up something or don't follow everything I do here, in the very worst and super rare cases things can be restitched and glue can be reapplied
I have a bootleg koishi and she gets stained no matter how soft I wash her, any advice?
for stains that really don't want to come off with conventional methods, I'd suggest rubbing alcohol or even a couple drops of color-safe bleach (only use on spots and not the entire Fumo)
depending on the type of stain different things can work, like hydrogen peroxide and dishwashing soap, if you know what kind of stain you got you can usually google what works best for it and use that on those spots
@@VeysTheGreat Ok, thank you!
Thanks bro
My Koishi hasn't showered in weeks
She looks so nice and clean now! 😮
I finally have my first fumo and I really need this. Thanks!
fumo
I already messed up the glue on cirnos hair so it’s split lol
Ayo thanks (I as a 12 yo who wanted a fumo and got one [bootleg cuz' don't have enough money or time to buy an og one also i bought it by myself] I act uaslly don't have it already but i wanted to know how to wash it when it arrives) I loved this simple tutorial my marisa now won't be really dirty ( as my other plushies) when she arrives home.
Frgot to say, arrived at 27 of febraury, sorry for the giga late update, Ze marisa is now trapped hehehe!
New update, bought her a bee costume 5-4 months ago, the stinky marisa still hasn't taken a bath.
Update: she getting an official fumo friend. Soon.
This helped me a lot
I also have a bootleg marisa, this will be useful
Very cute and wholesome :)
Very useful, gotta go cleaning my cirno now
very good and useful video 10/10 my fumos are clean
very useful, thanks a lot!
Ayoye is that Maurice Kris-aimé fumo ??????????????
Maria kiss me Fumo
hmm i think i screwed up
My bootleg Marisa's hat falls easily, do i need to wash that too?
up to you? If you feel like it needs cleaning you can go for it
Do we really have to squeeze it? 🥺 I afraid of ruining it by squezzing
don't squeeze from the sides and only do it from the front, that way you don't pop the hair off and stuff, obviously just don't do it too strongly
if you don't do that, it'll just take longer to dry, your Fumo will be fine either way
mind that plush stuffing has a chance to get shifted because it was soggy for a prolonged time, however I doubt that Fumos have that problem
@@VeysTheGreat Thank you! Just got my fumo recently~
yayyy that is awesome, have very much fun you two
what about an hat? (preferably yuyuko's)
I do the same things for those as in the video
since most hats don't use glue you can also even put them in the washing machine (up to 40C/105F, gentle treatment settings and/or put them in just by themselves)
mors :)
As a Bootleg fumo owner i am very afraid to touch them with water at all, will a quick dip in water ruin or dissolve anything
no that's super unlikely
Alright thank you, maybe i can get my Bootleg Reimu to look clean again then.
Dont own a Fumo but, i will get one for christmas. Good for a bootleg though?
yes yes, give it lots of love ok?
Hey man i did all the steps and made sure to squeeze all the water out of the fumo, how long will it take to dry?
10-20 hours, rough estimate
i used shampoo to try it out and now my fumo smells disgusting but ok :)
your shampoo might be broken
@@VeysTheGreat how do i break shampoo, though. dont we technically break it all the time? if swooshing or tearing was the same as breaking (which i think it is) then it would make sense.
but we’re supposed to break shampoo
Stinky fumo
Leave it dry... where!? HELP
any place that can get wet is fine lol, if you don't have such a place just put it on a towel and put the towel on a table or something
Could I put mine in the dryer or will that be bad?
I wouldn't recommend that, I never tested it but usually you don't do that with plushies
@@VeysTheGreat Oh okay, thank you for the video and info!
if you really want to use the dryer i think you should put it in a pillowcase or some kind of sack
is this in greece?
no, a fair bit further West
@@VeysTheGreatItaly?
Germany
