Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew anyone in the Cambridge area that did toy repair & cleaning? Failing that, does anyone have a recommendation for a good cleaners that won't trash a soft toy?
The reason I ask is that I'm soon to become a father (eek!) and I've got a soft toy I'd like to give to the baby. It's a hand made toy I was given by my father when I was a baby myself & i'd like to get it repaired and cleaned up so I can do the same. The repairs aren't anything major (just some restitching here & there) but I'd hate it if I took it to a generic cleaners and it got damaged.
Cheers for any thoughts/info people can come up with.

toys, Lee.
Also, you may find antique dealers (esp the larger ones who hold themed toy
sales) may be able to recommend a restorer/cleaner.

If you google "dolls hospital" you'll find both doll specialists, and those who fix a wider range of things, e.g. bears. Probably not actually in Cambridge, but close enough. Have no direct experience, so that's it.
