A fellow blogger needs help:

I have a Haruhi dakimakura (body pillow). It is not a pillow cover but rather includes the pillow itself. There is no way to remove the cover. [] Now I have a blood stain (don’t ask) on Haruhi’s face and I wish to try to wash it… but I don’t know the proper way to go about this. I don’t want the colors to somehow fade or anything like that, so how should I properly wash this?

I always wondered if that kind of thing was real, but apparently it is.

BTW, I think Shout is safe for most colors. I would try to bleed again on a less prominent part of Haruhi and try Shout there first.
