A practical care routine for the 11-inch Pusheen Sub Sandwich Squisheen plush: how to squish it back into shape, spot-clean it safely, and display it without flattening the fillings.
Quick answer
Treat your Pusheen Sub Sandwich Squisheen as a surface-clean, shape-first plush: spot-clean stains with a damp cloth and mild soap, air-dry it fully, then fluff and display it loosely rather than storing it compressed.
Why the sub shape needs a gentler routine
The Sub Sandwich Squisheen is an 11-inch-long plush built to look like a stacked veggie sub, so its appeal depends on the fillings staying visible and the long shape staying even. That makes it different from a round squishy: the length and layered details are the parts most likely to crease, flatten or collect dust.
You do not need a different cleaner for this plush than for other Squisheen items, but you do need to avoid soaking it. Water trapped inside a long plush takes longer to dry and can leave the sandwich looking lumpy.
Squisheen vs plush: what changes for care
A Squisheen is a Pusheen plush made with an extra-squishy feel, so the same basic plush-care rules apply: keep it away from high heat, clean stains promptly, and dry it completely. The practical difference is that squishy plush can lose its shape if it sits squashed under books or in a tight bin, so storage matters as much as cleaning.
If you are deciding between a Squisheen and a standard plush for a child or a display shelf, choose the Squisheen for tactile fun and the standard plush if you need something that holds a rigid pose. For the Sub Sandwich, plan on a loose spot on the shelf rather than a crowded pile.
When spot cleaning is not enough
Spot cleaning handles dust, sticky fingerprints and small food marks. If the plush is soaked through, heavily soiled, or has an odor that airing does not fix, stop and check the care label or contact the retailer before washing, because the supplied product information does not list machine-wash instructions for this item.
Do not assume the Sub Sandwich Squisheen is machine washable just because it is soft. The long shape and attached details make a full wash riskier than a careful surface clean.
Step-by-step Squisheen care routine
- Shake out loose dust first: Take the plush outside or over a sink and gently shake and pat it to remove surface dust before any moisture touches it. Common mistake: wiping a dusty plush with a damp cloth, which pushes dust into the fabric. Check for any loose stitching or small tears before you start cleaning.
- Spot-clean with a barely damp cloth: Mix a drop of mild soap in cool water, wring the cloth until it is almost dry, and dab the stain from the outside in. Do not scrub hard or soak the filling. Checkpoint: the cloth should feel damp, not wet. Rinse the cloth and dab again with plain water to lift soap residue.
- Air-dry flat and supported: Lay the plush on a clean towel in a well-ventilated spot, away from direct sun and radiators, and turn it once halfway through drying. Common mistake: hanging a long plush by one end, which stretches the shape. Do not put it away until the fabric feels dry all the way through, not just on the surface.
- Fluff and reshape the fillings: Once dry, gently squeeze and pat the length of the sandwich to redistribute the filling and bring back the sub shape. Checkpoint: the plush should look even along its 11-inch length, with no flat spots. If a crease remains, reshape by hand and let it rest loosely for a day before displaying.
- Display loosely, not compressed: Set the Sub Sandwich Squisheen on a shelf or chair where it can rest without heavy items on top. For food-plush displays, give it its own space rather than stacking it under other plush. Common mistake: storing it in a vacuum bag or tight drawer. Rotate display spots occasionally so the same side does not take all the weight.
