Quick answer
To keep your pink squishies soft and slow-rebounding, clean them gently with mild soap and water, dry them completely, and store them away from dust and direct sunlight.
Why pink squishies need special care
Pink squishies, like the pink macaron, pink axolotl, and perfume with pink bow, are made from food-grade silicone. That soft, creamy feel comes from the material's ability to rebound slowly, but it also means they can attract dust and oils from your hands. Regular gentle cleaning keeps them looking vibrant and feeling satisfying to squeeze.
Unlike flocked or crystal squishies, these silicone taba squishies are water-safe, so you can wash them without worrying about ruining a coating. Still, harsh scrubbing or heat can damage the surface, so it's best to stick with a soft touch.
Care steps for your pink squishies
- Wash gently with mild soap: Use lukewarm water and a drop of mild dish soap or hand soap. Rub the squishy with your fingers or a soft cloth, focusing on any sticky or dirty spots. Avoid scrubbing with brushes or abrasive pads, which can dull the surface. Checkpoint: If the squishy feels sticky after washing, you likely didn't rinse off all the soap.
- Rinse and squeeze out excess water: Rinse thoroughly under running water until no soap remains. Gently squeeze the squishy to remove water from the inside, but don't twist or wring it, as that can stress the silicone and affect the slow rebound. Checkpoint: After squeezing, the squishy should feel lighter and not drip water.
- Air dry completely: Place the squishy on a clean, dry towel or a drying rack in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Let it dry completely for several hours or overnight. Putting it away while damp can lead to mold or a change in texture. Checkpoint: The squishy should feel dry to the touch on all sides before you store it.
- Store away from dust and sunlight: Keep your pink squishies in a clean, dry place, like a drawer or a box, when not in use. Avoid leaving them on open shelves where dust can settle, and keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Checkpoint: If you notice a dusty film on a squishy, it's time for a quick rinse.
- Handle with clean hands: Before squeezing your squishy, wash your hands or use a hand sanitizer to remove oils and dirt. This reduces the need for frequent deep cleaning and keeps the surface feeling smooth. Checkpoint: If the squishy starts to feel greasy, it's a sign that hand oils have built up.
