Can I put some of these flakes in a tub with water to soak and hand wash delicate items?

Yes, as far as I know, soap flakes are good for delicates. It is a vegetable based non-toxic soap

I suppose if you were very careful with a hand washing and didn't "soak" them you could but I would not recommend it. They are a flimsy material and I think they would shrink while drying.

absolutely. i wash them by hand. I have used them numerous times since I purchased them last August.

it's better to wash these by hand but yes they can be put in the dishwasher.

I believe you can, but I hand wash. For the best answer contact Grandma Ann. There customer service is superb! Hope this helps.

According to on line information that would be no they cannot...I hand washed mine with soft soap. It took awhile to dry, but it came out very well...

Absolutely. Anything exposed to water and air needs sanitized from time to time. Try taking apart one of those water cooler stands - the mold growth on the inside is nauseating because people only clean the outside! I put the pieces in the top rack of my dishwasher and run it on sanitize.

I just got these so I have gotten to that point yet. but I would imagine you could hand wash them in the sink and let them air dry.

These are reusable. I wouldn't trust this to use instead of a water bath, they are more for an even level of cake not for moisture.

Yes, and very simply. They are supposed to be able to be thrown into the washing machine and to be taken care of. I don't recommend you do that on a normal or harsh setting though, in case some varnish(for lack of a better word on the fly) were to come off. I would spray some pan on it before you use it each time and then either throw it in the washing machine on a light setting or hand wash - it's really easy to clean them anyways.

No they will not rust by hand washing but towel drying right after is just as important. Any mild dish soap is fine to use.

Yes you can. you want to boil them in water to extract the soap. It will burn your eyes so avoid eye contact. If you google soap nut shampoo it will tell you how to make it

The trays are super delicate so you need to be careful not to break them. However, soaking them in water reconstitutes everything that had dried on them and so it comes off easily. I have a 1 gallon tub that I use to wash vegetables and it works great for this. I wouldn't put them in the sink with other dishes.

no. we have soft water-- and I never use rinse conditioner. I agree with another answer-- they do break very easily if you stack them.

Well, that depends on what you put them in. ;) I just rinse mine in water. They are heavy plastic and should be fine for the silverware cage of the dishwasher.
