Your Squishmallow Needs Gentle Care
Your 14-inch Dilka Boba Lavender Bigfoot is a soft, cuddly companion from Original Squishmallows. Whether you're taking it on scary movie nights or long flights, keeping it clean and soft starts with the right habits. This guide covers simple, safe ways to care for your plush without risking its shape or feel.
Dust and Surface Cleaning
For everyday dust and light dirt, a low-lint cloth or a soft brush works well. Gently wipe or brush the surface of the plush, paying attention to crevices around the Bigfoot's face and lavender accents. Avoid rubbing too hard, as the plush fabric can mat or pill. For stubborn dust, a lint roller is a quick and effective tool.
What the Product Tells Us About Care

When Spot Cleaning Is Needed
If a small area gets a stain, spot cleaning is safer than a full wash. Dampen a clean cloth with cool water and a tiny drop of mild detergent (like baby shampoo). Blot the stain gently, working from the outside in, then blot again with a clean damp cloth to remove soap residue. Let the plush air dry completely before cuddling again. Never soak the plush or submerge it, as the inner stuffing can take a long time to dry and may develop odors.
Machine Washing: Not Recommended Without Instructions
The supplied information for this 14-inch Dilka Bigfoot does not include washing instructions. Without explicit guidance from the manufacturer, machine washing is risky. The agitation can distort the plush shape, and the heat from drying can damage the fabric or cause the lavender color to fade. If you must machine wash, use a gentle cycle in cold water, place the plush in a mesh laundry bag, and air dry flat. But know that the safest route is spot cleaning.
Keeping Your Plush Soft Over Time
To maintain that signature Squishmallow softness, avoid exposing Dilka to direct sunlight for long periods, which can fade the lavender color. Store it in a clean, dry place away from dust and pet hair. Regular gentle brushing with a soft bristle brush or a clean, dry toothbrush can help lift any flattened fibers and restore fluffiness. A quick tumble in the dryer on the no-heat or air-fluff setting (inside a pillowcase) can also help fluff it up, but check for any loose threads first.
