To clean a Squishmallow by hand, start with detergent and a damp cloth. Mix a small amount of laundry detergent with cold water in a spray bottle. Lightly spray the Squishmallow with this mixture. Wet a clean cloth with water and gently scrub the surface of the Squishmallow.
Next, rinse the Squishmallow in the kitchen sink. Use the spray function on your kitchen faucet to gently rinse with cold water. Be careful to keep the water level low to avoid soaking the Squishmallow too much.
Finally, allow the Squishmallow to air dry. Lay it flat on a surface to dry naturally. If the Squishmallow gets distorted during washing, use your hands to reshape it before letting it sit out to dry.
For spot cleaning, you can use a stain remover pen or mild detergent. Always perform a fabric spot test before applying any cleaning products to ensure safety. This method helps keep your Squishmallow looking and feeling fresh without causing damage.
