Yes, you can machine wash Squishmallows, but it is not recommended by the manufacturer. If you choose to do so, use a gentle cycle with cold water. This helps prevent damage to the fabric and stuffing.
To keep your Squishmallow safe, place it in a pillowcase or a delicate clothes mesh bag. This reduces the risk of snagging and damage during the wash cycle.
Use mild laundry detergent and steer clear of fabric softeners, bleach, and other harsh chemicals. These can harm the fabric and affect the softness of your Squishmallow.
After washing, remove the Squishmallow from the bag and air dry it on a flat surface. If you need to use a dryer, opt for the air fluff cycle with no heat to avoid melting or distorting the shape.
Always check the care instructions on the Squishmallow’s tag before washing. This ensures you follow the best practices for cleaning and maintaining your Squishmallow.
