Yes, you can put a Squishmallow in a washing machine, but certain precautions are necessary to avoid damage. Use a gentle cycle with mild laundry detergent to keep the plush toy safe.
Place the Squishmallow in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase to protect its shape and fabric during the wash. Avoid fabric softener, as it can distort the soft and squishy texture of the toy.
Ensure you wash it in cold water to prevent any deformation or damage. When it comes to drying, air drying is best, but a low heat setting on the dryer is acceptable to avoid melting the polyester fibers.
Although the manufacturer advises against machine washing, many users have successfully cleaned their Squishmallows by following these guidelines. This way, your Squishmallow remains clean and cuddly.
