Yes, Squishmallows can be washed in a washing machine, but it’s not recommended by the manufacturer. Many users have done it successfully using delicate settings and cold water. However, there is a risk of damaging the plush toy.
If you decide to wash your Squishmallow in the machine, use a pillowcase or mesh bag. This will protect the toy during the wash cycle. Avoid using hot water or harsh detergents to keep it safe.
Always choose the gentle cycle on your washing machine. This reduces the chance of harming your Squishmallow. Cold water helps to maintain its softness and shape.
After washing, let your Squishmallow air dry. Do not use a dryer, as the heat can damage the fabric and stuffing. Place it in a well-ventilated area to dry naturally.
While machine washing is possible, hand washing is a safer option. It ensures your Squishmallow stays in great condition for a long time.
