Every stuffed animal repair shop we hold

Part of a national disaster restoration franchise, cleaning up after fire, water, mould and storm. Their soft contents service names toys and stuffed animals explicitly as things they save from being thrown out. You reach them in the hours after something bad has happened, usually through an insurer.

A family dry cleaner running since 1949, with a garment and textile restoration programme for insurance claims alongside the retail shop and alterations. Free pickup and delivery, everything cleaned on site, and trained and certified staff at every stage of the restoration process.

The CRDN franchise covering Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, with plants in Nash, Houston, Memphis and North Little Rock. Twenty years, 24 hour emergency response, and they will take heirloom fabrics and taxidermy mounts as well as clothing.

Fabric and textile restoration after fire or water damage, working through your insurer. Stuffed animals and taxidermy are both on their list. The detail that matters: within 24 to 48 hours of the first visit they return a rush order of essentials, and they name a beloved stuffed animal as one of the things a family needs back that fast.

A disaster restoration company covering Southern California, working insurance claims after fire, smoke, water and mould. Stuffed animals are on their list of textiles restored, alongside wedding gowns and rugs. This is not a repair shop: they arrive after a house fire, pack everything out, and return what can be saved.

A long-running doll and bear repair shop on Long Island, run by Jan, that also takes stuffed animals and Steiff pieces. They clean, restuff, mend tears and replace eyes, they keep original parts wherever they can, and they do not touch porcelain.

A Tallahassee dry cleaner of twenty-five years with a fire and flood restoration arm, fur and leather work, and complimentary pickup and delivery. Their advice on hurricane damage is the most useful thing they publish: photograph everything before you clean or throw anything away, because documentation decides what an insurer will pay for and what a restorer can save.

A national contents restoration franchise that works as part of the emergency response after a fire, flood or storm. Textiles, electronics and art, restored room by room with photo documentation, and billed through the insurance claim rather than by you. You reach them through an adjuster or a contractor.

Twenty years of contents restoration after fire, flood and storm, taking textiles alongside furniture, home electronics and artwork. Insurance work: you submit a claim, not an item.

A national specialty restoration franchise covering electronics, art, documents and textiles for insurance claims. They argue in their own words that a favourite stuffed animal can mean more to somebody than its monetary worth, and price by process and labour rather than per piece, which they say keeps the claim cheaper.

A commercial laundry and restoration plant built around insurance work. They publish a 92 percent average restore rate over a million items processed, and they say plainly that they recover soft goods other cleaners write off. Every item is photographed, barcoded and graded restorable or not, priced against replacement cost.

An award-winning restoration plant for clothing and household fabrics damaged by fire, smoke, water or mould, working through insurers. Named American Drycleaner Magazine plant of the year in 1991 and rated the number one fabric restoration vendor by Contractor Connection in 2010 and 2014.
