Mascot Prices: How Much Does a Mascot Cost?
Many factors can influence the price of a custom mascot costume, including differing levels of customization, customer support, quality of materials, construction methods, and mascot fit and functionality.
It may be simple to wash your custom mascot’s shoes, accessories, and body suit between uses, but what about your character’s head? Mascot heads are the most difficult portion of a custom mascot costume to clean. However, it’s important to keep your mascot head clean and well-sanitized to ensure your mascot performer’s health and safety and your costume’s longevity. If you’ve been struggling with how to clean your mascot head, check out this mascot head cleaning guide!
First, determine what kind of material your head is made out of. Do you have a foam or plastic mascot head? Also, does it have fur or hair attached to it? A few steps of your mascot cleaning and sanitation process will vary depending based on what your mascot head is constructed out of. Mascot heads can be made out of vacuum formed foam, traditional sculpted foam, and vacuum formed plastic. You will find that some materials are easier to sanitize than others.
If you have a traditional sculpted foam mascot head, expect cleaning difficulties. The material is very porous, which leads to accumulation of moisture and odors. Using and sanitizing this type of head often will lead to disintegration overtime and impact your custom mascot head’s overall longevity. It is important to keep your sculpted foam mascot head clean but be sure that any cleaning spray or disinfectant is thoroughly dried and wiped up.
If you have a vacuum formed foam mascot head, you can easily clean it by wiping it down with a disinfectant wipe or a solution of water and a mild detergent. Vacuum formed foam is much more durable than traditional sculpted foam and is less likely to disintegrate over time. However, because it is still a foam material, ensure that it completely dries.
If you have a plastic mascot head, cleaning and sanitation is easy. Plastic heads can be wiped down with a disinfectant wipe or a solution of water and mild detergent. Additionally, the inner helmet component can also be removed to be properly cleaned. Plastic mascot heads are much easier to clean than foam mascot heads. Due to this, you can expect less of a build-up of sweat and odors over time.
