Using and sanitizing this type of head often will lead to disintegration overtime and impact your custom mascot head\u2019s 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. A great way to do this is by utilizing air drying, and you can quicken this process by using a fan if available.\u00a0<\/p><p>If you have a <strong>vacuum formed foam mascot head<\/strong>, you can easily clean it by wiping it down with a disinfectant wipe or a solution of water and a mild detergent.

If this is the case, spray a bleach-free disinfectant on the hair or fur material. It is recommended to test the spray on a small hidden piece of fur to make sure it does not cause any damages. After cleaning, a mascot brush can be used to brush out the fur or hair. Although brushing can make the fur appear neater, avoid over brushing- as this might pull out fur.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4034ecd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4034ecd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/Divider-1024x313.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3852\" alt=\"Seamstress playing with yogi bear&#039;s nose\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/Divider-1024x313.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/Divider-300x92.jpg 300w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/Divider-768x235.jpg 768w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/Divider-1536x470.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/olympusmascots.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/04\/Divider.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-defbb91 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"defbb91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Like we mentioned before, air drying is the best method for drying out wet fur or wet hair.
