What will happen after your squishy's getting dirty?
Ah, fellow humans, I see you've gotten your precious squishy a little... dirty. Fear not! Even the most regal of us need a little clean-up now and then. Follow these steps, and I’ll ensure your squishy remains in top form, just like me – though, of course, not as adorable.
How to Clean Your Squishy – Professor Pawws' Definitive Guide
Step 1: Apply Some Magic (a.k.a Makeup Remover)
First things first, grab yourself a gentle makeup remover. Trust me, humans use this all the time to remove grime from their faces, so it'll work wonders on your squishy! Coat the entire surface generously – no skimping, darling. This breaks down all the oils, dirt, and stickiness without damaging your squishy.
Step 2: Scrub Like a Pro, But Gently
Now, don’t go overboard. Grab a soft sponge or cloth and give your squishy a gentle scrub. We’re talking a delicate touch, people – this isn’t a workout. Just enough to lift the dirt while keeping the squishy’s cute personality intact.
Step 3: Soak, Don’t Submerge
After scrubbing, rinse your squishy under lukewarm water. Then, soak it in a bowl of clean water for 5 minutes – not longer! We don’t want it drowning in there. It’s important to remove all the soap and makeup remover. Trust me, it’ll feel refreshed – just like a good nap (something I can never get enough of).
Step 4: Pat Dry and Let It Air
No squeezing or wringing! Be gentle, use a towel to pat it dry, and then let it air-dry in the shade. Sunlight? Not a good idea. You wouldn’t want it to fade or deform. Trust me on this – I know what it’s like to face the harsh realities of life.
Step 5: Got Stickiness?
If your squishy is feeling a little sticky post-cleaning, sprinkle a touch of baby powder or cornstarch on it. Rub it in gently, and voila! No more stickiness – just soft, squishable bliss.
The Pawws Pro Tips
- Storage Matters: When you’re not squeezing the life out of it, keep your squishy in a cool, dry place. Tight spaces? Not a fan – just like me.
- Avoid the Strong Stuff: No harsh chemicals, people! Only gentle, mild products. You wouldn’t clean your face with bleach, would you? Same goes for your squishy.
- Don’t Over-Soak: We’re going for a quick soak here, not a swim. Too much water can do more harm than good.
Professor Pawws' Final Words
There you have it! Keep that squishy of yours as clean and fabulous as me. Follow these steps, and your squishy will be good as new – ready for more squishing, squeezing, and stress-relieving joy.
