Sure.
I'll just note, only use bleach on only white fur. I used a combo of Woolite and some shampoo on them, then bleach. I also bleached a few towels in the process. Don't use your favorite towels.
For normal washing, cold water only! Some objects with foam / lots of polyfill, wet the surface. I clean things either over a sink or tub depending on size. You can use your hand or gently dunk it (not to soak). Add some soap (usually Woolite, but you can use a lil hand some or shampoo if it involves grease). Someone had mentioned adding baking soda, but I haven't played with that yet.
Lather it up. Let it sit for a moment, then rinse it out. Some of it can seep into foam. Keep this in mind if you are using bleach (especially with hands). Repeat as needed.
I've used slicker brushes to help scrub it into the fur. Start on the hairs on top, rinse it out, then work your way down. If it's minor, you'll only need to do the tops of the hairs. Rinse and repeat as needed.
For drying, brush everything out, wrap it in a towel, come back in about 20 mins, and swap out the towels. When it's dry enough, brush it out, then blow a fan on it. Check it in a hour. For paws, wrap them in a towel until dry enough, then get hangers meant for clipping pants, and let them drip dry over a tub. Put a towel on a floor if needed.
My upstairs bathroom turns into a salon. I hope this helps!

I guess the problem I have is that whenever I clean feet or tail tips, they still have a soapy/sticky feeling to them no matter how much I wipe at them with water.
I'm also afraid to get anything with foam in it too wet! I mean, as long as it dries fast it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but it still scares me :x
Thanks so much for all your tips though, I really appreciate it! :)
