Using your Squishmallow is super easy. Just squeeze it whenever you need a little comfort, like when you're watching a scary movie or taking a long flight. It's the perfect companion! When it comes to maintenance, if it gets dirty, you can gently spot - clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Don't machine - wash it as it might damage the plush. Also, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid any tears. Enjoy your Squishmallow!
