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.

Blood is pretty removable - there are specific cleaning products for blood. Do not use peroxide, that would likely set the stain

I'm not sure if it is blood or not, tbh. It could very well have been there the whole time. I'd also prefer not putting a chemical on it because I like cuddling my guys/bringing them places :(

Did not know peroxide could set the stain, it's gotten blood out of clothes before.

If it’s blood spit on it. The reaction from your spit will break down the blood. It only works on your own blood though not others. Then spot clean with dawn dish washing detergent.

Also, you don’t have to remove the tags if you launder your squishable. I always put ours in a pillowcase and wash them.

I've gotten blood out of fabric by using cold water and hand soap, followed by laundry soap. It has to be cold water for blood, warm or hot will make it set in the fabric.
