Keep Your Squishies Fresh, Fluffy, and Fun!
Squishy toys are not just adorable—they're perfect for stress relief, decoration, and even collecting. But just like anything we love and use often, squishies can get dirty, sticky, or lose their shape over time. Don't worry! Here’s your easy guide to cleaning and taking care of your squishies so they stay soft, cute, and squishable for as long as possible.
🧽 How to Clean Your Squishies
1. Surface Dust or Lint
If your squishy has picked up some dust or lint (especially those flocked or matte ones), try:
-
Soft brush or clean makeup brush to gently sweep it off
-
A piece of masking tape to dab gently
Pro tip: Avoid using strong tape like duct tape—it can damage the surface!
2. Sticky or Dirty Stains
Got some fingerprints or food stains? Here’s a gentle cleaning method:
You'll need:
-
Bowl of lukewarm water
-
A drop of mild liquid soap or baby shampoo
-
A soft cloth or sponge
Steps:
-
Mix water with a tiny amount of soap
-
Dampen the cloth and gently wipe the squishy’s surface
-
Use a clean damp cloth to remove any soap residue
-
Air-dry it completely—don’t use a hair dryer or put it under direct sun
Never soak your squishy in water! It can damage the inner foam.
🛠 How to Maintain and Store Your Squishies
✅ Do:
-
Store squishies in a cool, dry place
-
Keep them away from direct sunlight (to prevent fading or stickiness)
-
Use a zip bag or small box to avoid dust
-
Give them space—don’t stack heavy things on top
❌ Don’t:
-
Don’t stretch them too hard—especially the delicate ones
-
Don’t leave them in hot cars or near heaters
-
Don’t let pets bite or chew on them (they’re cute but not chew toys 🐶)
🔄 Help! My Squishy Is Out of Shape!
If your squishy is dented or squashed, try:
-
Letting it sit in its original shape for a few days
-
Gently reshaping it with your hands
-
Using light pressure to push air back inside
Some slow-rising squishies take longer to “bounce back”—that’s totally normal!
💬 Final Thoughts
Taking care of your squishies helps them last longer and look just as cute as the day you got them. With a little love and simple cleaning, your squishy collection will stay fresh, fluffy, and ready to squish anytime 💖
