Soft toys: Definitely don't dry clean these. These can easily be washed by hand using ordinary soap, followed by a good rinse and a spin in the washing machine to remove excess water. "Washing teddy" can be a fun game to play in the bath with a toddler who doesn't like having their hair washed. The toddler can get Teddy all foamy and lathery using soap while you wash the toddler's hair. You will need to rinse the soap off Teddy somewhere other than the bath, though try the basin. Teddy can then spin in the machine while toddler is getting dry and dressed. Teddy will still be slightly damp after spinning, but will be dry enough to cuddle and play with the rest of the moisture will be removed by evaporation and a little light osmosis.
