Yes, Squishmallows can get wet, but it’s important to handle them carefully to avoid any damage. For minor stains, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is best. Gently dab the affected area without soaking the entire toy.
If the stain is more significant, hand washing with mild detergent and cold water is an option. Be sure to rinse gently and let the Squishmallow air dry. This method helps maintain its shape and softness.
Some people have washed their Squishmallows in a machine on a gentle cycle with cold water. They used a safety net or cloth to protect the toy. However, this method isn’t officially recommended and could cause damage.
To dry your Squishmallow, air drying is the safest method. Avoid using dryers or heated appliances, as heat can distort the shape or melt the material. Proper care ensures your Squishmallow stays soft and cuddly for a long time.
