Buy and sell Squishmallows - pristine only

Buying secondhand Squishmallows shouldn't be a gamble. On the SquishyMax marketplace, every listing has to pass the Pristine Rules before it reaches a buyer: freshly washed, zero holes, zero rips, zero stains. Anything that arrives short of pristine gets sent back to the seller and the buyer is made whole. That's how collectors trade with collectors.

The Pristine Rules

  1. Freshly washed. Every Squishmallow must be washed before it ships. No exceptions.
  2. No holes, no rips, no stains. Damaged squish doesn't belong on the marketplace - it gets sent right back to the seller.
  3. Checked on arrival. Anything short of pristine goes back, and the buyer gets their money back.

Pristine in, pristine out. That's the whole deal.

🧼 How to wash a Squishmallow (the right way)

“Freshly washed” is rule one, so here's exactly how to do it without hurting the squish. Grab a grown-up for the machine steps.

  1. Start with spot cleaning. It's what the manufacturer recommends. Dab the spot with a damp cloth and a little dish soap or gentle stain remover, let it sit about five minutes, then rinse the area with a clean damp cloth.
  2. Machine wash for a full clean. Zip the plush inside a zippered pillowcase or mesh laundry bag so the fabric can't snag. Delicate cycle, cold water, gentle detergent, and toss in a few towels to balance the load.
  3. Dry with zero heat. Tumble dry on air-fluff (no heat) with clean towels or dryer balls to re-fluff the filling. Heat can melt the delicate fabric, so when in doubt, air dry.
  4. Finish in fresh air. Let it rest somewhere sunny and well-ventilated until it's completely dry inside. Squeeze test: no cool damp spots means it's ready to ship or shelf.

Fully dry before boxing - a damp squish in a sealed box is how odors happen, and odors fail the Pristine Rules.
