How to Clean a Squishy (and Fix a Sticky One)
To clean a squishy, wipe it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it air dry. If a taba silicone squishy feels sticky, dust it with a light layer of baby powder. Slow-rise foam squishies only get spot-cleaned with a barely damp cloth, never soaked.
that's the short version. here's the full one, by squishy type 🫧
How do I clean a taba (silicone) squishy?
- Wipe it with a damp cloth and a little mild soap.
- Air dry it. No heat, no hairdryer.
- If it still feels tacky, add a light dusting of baby powder and rub it in with your fingers.
Our handmade taba squishies are silicone, so they wipe clean easily and bounce straight back.
How do I clean a slow-rise squishy?
Spot-clean it with a barely damp cloth. Never soak foam. Keep it away from heat and sharp objects, and squeeze it rather than stretching it. Browse the SlowRise collection.
How do I fix a sticky squishy?
Dust a little baby powder onto your hands and roll the squishy between your palms. That is the quick fix for any tackiness, and it is why our Momo Planet squishies arrive lightly coated in powder. If one starts to feel sticky or oily, repeat the roll to refresh the coating.
Can I wash a squishy in water?
Wipe it, don't soak it. For taba, use a damp cloth and mild soap. For slow-rise foam, a barely damp cloth only.
Are squishies edible?
No. They look good enough to eat, but they are squeeze only.
