How to Clean Squishy Toys Safely

Squishy toy cleaning setup with soft cloth and mild soap

Squishy toys pick up lint, dust, and hand oils because they are made to be touched. The safest cleaning method is gentle, quick, and low friction.

Use mild soap and cool water

Dampen a soft cloth with cool water and a tiny amount of mild soap. Wipe the surface lightly instead of soaking the toy.

Avoid heat and hard scrubbing

Heat, alcohol, strong cleaners, and rough brushes can damage surface finishes. Let the toy air dry fully before storing it.

Store clean toys separately

Keep favorite squishies in a clean pouch or display tray so dust and color transfer are less likely.
