Using your Squishmallow is super easy. Just grab it and squeeze whenever you need a little comfort or energy. You can take it with you on long flights or keep it close during a scary movie. As for maintenance, spot - clean it with a mild detergent and let it air dry. Avoid putting it in the washing machine as it might damage the plush. Also, keep it away from sharp objects to prevent tears. Have fun with your new Squishmallow friend!
