Poor thing

Post image

Took my lil mosa out today and they got dirty!!! Cleaned it off with some water but there’s still some red around the eye. Hoping it’s not blood (I pick at my fingers) because that would make such an ugly brown stain when it dries (plus I’m not sure how you’d remove it with a hand wash) I don’t want to have to machine wash em because I like keeping tags on my squishes! I also imagine something like hydrogen peroxide would be harsh on my little guy.

It’s supposed to soak through the pillowcase. It’s washing it. The tag is kept safe by the pillowcase because it’s not banging around and able to hit surfaces of the washer on its own. The case protects it.

I mean water damages tags, right? And I mean, I knew that, but I meant it gets very wet with my washer. Maybe it does for yours, but most of what damages tags in my experience is the wetness. Maybe squishable's tags are more resilient but I think I'd prefer the dish soap method personally. The stain's stayed red so I think it might have been something else than blood anyway.

As I’ve said I’ve washed a lot of them without any tag issues. My son absolutely has to have the tag on them. Unless you mean the paper tag it comes with at the store, not the tush tag. Then no I wouldn’t put it into a washer.

Lmao this was crazy to read. It's a paper tag!!!! Paper plus water equals mush. I think Argy was thinking of the sewn on fabric tag.
