Sticky silicone squishy toy

My boys got this squishy pig that is made of silicone I think. Everything sticks to it and it's really sticky. We've washed it a few times but it's no better. Any suggestions? I wana chuck it away cos my boy loves it.

I don’t know if you can wash them. My little girl had a really similar toy and I had to bin it🤢 the dirt and fluff that was stuck to it x

If the silicones going sticky it's degrading and should ideally be chucked out as it essentially is melting

It's a stupid toy. They were all a bit sticky feeling. He absolutely loves it 😔

Sounds silly but maybe talcum powder, absolutely no evidence behind it, but might work? X

Could try soaking it in shampoo and water too, give it a little scrub every so often with a toothbrush xx

I'm going to try all the suggestions!. We go to the farm often where we got it from and he's already said his pig needs a friend!

Try washing with warm soapy water and then rubbing baby oil in and letting it dry a little before giving it back, the baby oil will stop it from being so sticky and easier to keep washing

I was thinking exactly this! Sounds counterintuitive but does the trick.. wipe the oil off as oil don’t dry and you will have a shiny surface but not sticky. Some powder if needed after the oil will stop the stick from returning
