Yes, you can wash and dry Squishmallows, but it’s important to do it carefully. Here are some easy tips to follow to keep your Squishmallow clean and fluffy.
For handwashing, use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid any heated objects or harsh chemicals. Spot clean stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent. You can let it air dry or use a clean towel to pat it dry.
If you prefer machine washing, place the Squishmallow in a pillowcase or delicate bag. Use cold water and a gentle cycle. Skip the bleach or fabric softeners. After washing, let it air dry or use a low-heat dryer on an air fluff cycle to keep the plush texture intact.
When drying, avoid high heat as it can melt the polyester fibers. Air drying is the best option to prevent damage and maintain the softness of your Squishmallow.
For special cases, like Squishmallows with hair or fuzzy surfaces, it’s better to avoid machine washing. If there are any odors, adding a bit of vinegar to the wash can help remove them.
Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and be cautious to avoid damaging your Squishmallow’s fabric and texture. Keeping these simple steps in mind will help you maintain your Squishmallow’s charm and softness.
