No, if you put washed food in it. Just toss it in regular laundry every once and a while.

You need to wash it before you use it (per instructions...so read the laundry instructions [hand wash or machine wash]) and wash as you feel its needed.

No, I've used it 4 times now and it doesn't seem to need to be washed, however I washed the potatoes very well before putting them in the bag.

Yes it can be washed. It is recommended to wash by itself the first time, but after that it's ok.

I haven't tried washing it. It doesn't feel like it would "live" through the process. I would recommend dry cleaning.

I have never washed mine. I keep it covered with a mattress pad/cover, that I do wash periodically, but have no need to clean this particular cover as it doesn't ever get dirty.

I probably wash it more than I need to. I do three rooms. I just like it clean each time to start over.

Yes. We always wash it in the dishwasher and it's still going strong after, probably, hundreds of washes!

I have washed mine maybe 5 or so times, but just when I take it outside. Otherwise, it doesn't need washed indoors

Yes, just rinses clean. Sometimes it needs a little dish soap if something greasy spatters on it. Easy to keep clean, though.
