Washing your Blåhaj

503 words

For the past year or so I’ve been sleeping with a Blåhaj plush. He’s big, cute, cuddly and I’ve loved him ever since I got him. However, throughout the months his face has begun to yellow from rubbing against my face, and just generally becoming a bit dirty. I was scared of washing him because I was worried he would get messed up or deformed by the washing machine, even if IKEA said that he is able to be washed completely fine.

If you’re in the same situation as me, don’t worry! While his stuffing may become a bit different from before, you can move it around while he’s drying and he will hopefully remain just as cute and cuddly as before. Once dried he should return to mostly like how he was before but most importantly, he will be clean!

And one of the simplest things you could use ffmpeg for is to simply convert between various media formats.

I like reading through my access logs, almost as much as I like RSS feeds nowadays. So when I looked at the access logs for the Voxelmanip Forums, I was very interested to see what I thought was a new RSS client… Mjukisbyxor?
