Yes, you can put Squishmallows in the washer and dryer, but with caution. To wash them safely, use a delicate cycle with cold water. Put your Squishmallow in a garment bag or pillowcase to protect it. Opt for mild laundry detergent to avoid damaging the fabric. Steer clear of fabric softeners and bleach; they can distort the material.
When it comes to drying, use low heat or the air fluff setting. High heat can melt the polyester fibers. If you prefer air drying, hang the Squishmallow by its ears or other protrusions for even drying. This helps maintain its shape and ensures thorough drying.
Before washing, remove any hang tags. To remove unwanted odors, you can use vinegar. Be cautious with Squishmallows that have hair or fuzzy parts; they may get damaged in the wash. After washing and drying, give it a few squishes and hugs to restore its fluffiness.
These steps will help keep your Squishmallows clean and cuddly. Following these guidelines ensures they stay in great condition for a long time. Keep your Squishmallows fresh and fluffy with these easy care tips!
