r/nesoberi

I bought a 2nd hand mega jumbo nesoberi plush and found out why it was so cheap. It had mold in hard to reach places and stinked, I gave it a handwash but that made the head of the plush smaller and less rounder. I got rid of most of the surface mold and now I'm not sure how to clean the rest without ruining it. Please help

I have a few nesoberi, mainly MJNN (Serval, Kaban, Reimu) and beyond sleeping with them I've found myself taking one on trains and flights, sometimes with positive reactions, and now I'm curious: does anyone else do this? Would you let yourself be seen with a big neso in public?
