Cleaning Your Cat Squishmallows Without Using A Washer Machine
If you are going to try to clean your cat Squishmallow without using a washing machine then you should try to spot treat them first; but always test a spot first to make sure that the cleaning product that you are using does not damage the Squishmallow material.
You can use a damp cloth with mild detergent (such as dish soap) or a wet wipe to clean the Squismallow. Gently rub the surface of the toy using your cloth. Once you’re done cleaning it with the damp cloth, rinse it off with cold water and allow it to air dry completely before storing it away. Make sure you do not put any weight on the stuffed animal while it is drying. If you need to hang it up, make sure you use clothespins so that there is no pressure put on its stuffing or body shape.
Instructions For Cleaning Using A Washing Machine
Put your Squishmallow in a pillowcase or laundry bag before placing it in the washing machine. You can also add bedding to the load of clothes.
Wash the Squishmallow using cold water only.
Use a normal laundry detergent; and put your washing machine on a gentle setting or delicate cycle.
Leave your cat Squishmallow in the pillowcase or laundry bag and dry in low heat or air fluff. If you can hang your Squishmallow on clothes pins and let it air dry that can be even better.
