General Cleaning how do you clean figurines/anything with this kind of furry coat??

this has always bugged me so much and ive never been able to understand how
i never tried water because i was worried it would ruin the quality

I use a slightly firm makeup brush and tbh I store these specific velvety figurines in transparent boxes

That furry coat is called flocking. I found a few people who recommend a tooth brush and oxyclean.

It's an anima, ShinChan is the boy on the left. 

And he always gets his butt out and then his mother beats him lol

I would personally wet it and wash in the sink with soap and water if it can't survive that it's not worth keeping in my house personally

I saw a video the other day that recommended micellar water but I haven’t tried it.
