Mascot Care

Use a soft cloth dipped in a solution of one washing tablet to 2 pints of warm water and dab the area, the pile of these costumes are thick and it is easy to remove blemishes and stains.
Bodies may be steam cleaned. Remove any velcroed padding parts within the costume before doing so. Padding and integral tummy cushions can be washed together seperately on a 30 degree wash.

After stain removal or steam cleaning set the costume parts to dry on a rack in front of a fan for 24 hours. Never store your mascot costume while it is still wet. Always dry it well for several hours before putting it away.

After every Event, wipe out the inside of the head form with a soft cloth and warm soapy water to keep the head smelling fresh. Do not use perfumes or deodorants on the mascot costume. These substances can damage or discolor the fabric and irritate other performers, (who also may have to use the costume), with allergies or sensitivities.
