To wash Squishmallows effectively, start by using a delicate cycle on your washing machine. Place the Squishmallow in a mesh bag or pillowcase to protect it. Use cold water and a low-sudsing detergent to avoid fabric damage.
Avoid hot water and fabric softeners, as they can harm the soft fabric. After washing, remove excess water and let the Squishmallow air dry or use a low heat dryer setting to keep it fluffy.
For hand washing, begin with spot cleaning. Use a damp cloth or wet wipe to remove surface debris. For stubborn stains, a stain remover pen works well.
Mix a small amount of laundry detergent with cold water in a spray bottle for a deeper clean. Spray the mixture on the Squishmallow and gently scrub with a damp cloth. Rinse with cold water and let it air dry.
Always check the care instructions on your Squishmallow before washing. Avoid toxic chemicals and bleach. For large Squishmallows, use a flat twin bedsheet tied at the corners to create a protective bag.
