To wash Squishmallows by hand, start by preparing the water. Fill a laundry tub with cool water. Add a mild washing detergent or a good wool wash to the water.
Next, submerge the Squishmallow in the water. Gently squash and lift it repeatedly to clean it. This will help remove dirt and stains.
After washing, rinse the Squishmallow thoroughly. Make sure to rinse it twice to remove all soap residue. This step is crucial for keeping it clean and fresh.
Finally, lay the Squishmallow flat on a surface to air dry. If it becomes distorted, gently reshape it before it dries completely. This will help it maintain its original form.
If you prefer, use a damp cloth and mild detergent to spot clean the Squishmallow. Then, rinse it in cold water and let it air dry. This method works well for small stains and quick cleanups.
