To wash a big Squishmallow, start by hand washing it. Use a non-serrated edge of a butter knife to gently remove any residue. Place the Squishmallow in a large, flat twin bedsheet and tie the four corners together to create a bag. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using normal laundry detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals. After washing, remove the Squishmallow from the sheet bag and air dry it on a flat surface. If it becomes distorted, reshape it with your hands before allowing it to dry.
If you prefer machine washing, place the Squishmallow in a delicate clothes mesh bag or a pillowcase to protect it from snagging. Use cold water and a gentle cycle with low-sudsing detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can distort the fabric. After washing, either air dry or use a low heat dryer setting along with other soft bedding to help maintain the Squishmallow’s shape.
Always check the care instructions on the Squishmallow’s tag before washing, and avoid submerging it in water to prevent damage. Following these steps will help keep your big Squishmallow clean and in good shape.
