To wash Squishmallows in the washer, start by removing any residue by hand. Use a butter knife’s non-serrated edge to scrape off any dirt. For tougher spots, a stain remover pen can be quite effective.
Next, place your Squishmallow in a protective bag. A zipper pillowcase or a delicate bag works best. This step ensures your Squishmallow stays safe from potential snags and damage during the wash.
Set your washing machine to a cold gentle cycle. Use cold water and a mild laundry detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric.
After washing, air dry your Squishmallow on a flat surface. If you prefer using a dryer, select the air fluff cycle with no heat to prevent any harm.
Once your Squishmallow is dry, reshape it using your hands. This helps it return to its original form and keeps it looking cuddly and fresh.
