Then you should wash it by hand, spray it with lysol, and let it air-out. There are many different scents (Fresh Linen Scent) that lysol makes and even if she doesn't like the smell of it, after letting the stuffed animal air-out, there should be a faint smell if any. So, don't tell her you're using the antibacterial spray, and cover it up with some sweet smell body spray or perfume. I don't know how old she is, but tell her that the toy has to go to stuffed animal hospital for a few days and bring it back with a band-aid. She'll never know.
