To wash large Squishmallows, start by preparing a mix of laundry detergent and cold water in a plastic tupperware bin. Use a spray bottle to apply this mixture to the Squishmallow. Gently scrub its surface with a damp cloth, then rinse it with cold water using the spray function on your kitchen faucet. Lay the Squishmallow flat to air dry, reshaping it as needed.
If you prefer to use a washing machine, place the Squishmallow in a zipper pillowcase or a bag made from a flat twin bedsheet. Set the machine to a cold, gentle cycle and use normal laundry detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals. After washing, air dry the Squishmallow on a flat surface, reshaping it if necessary. You can also use a dryer on an air fluff cycle without heat.
For very large Squishmallows, hand washing and air drying are best to prevent damage to both the toy and your washing machine. If you must use a washing machine, make sure to use a delicate bag and a gentle cycle.
By following these steps, you can keep your large Squishmallows clean and soft. Whether you choose to hand wash or machine wash, these methods will help maintain their shape and cuddliness.
