Should I wash it before I use it?

I did not. There was no unusual smell from packaging or anything and it doesn't come in contact with your skin.

No. I didn't wash it because I prefer whatever manufacturer treatments were used in these products. I still have not seen or been bitten nor bothered by any bed bugs.

I rincs it thoroughly after using it. Then stick it in the dishwasher. Otherwise, if I need it again before I run the washer, I put soap directly onto the base of the bristles, and just using my fingers lather it around, then rinse and use.

I wouldn't wash it. There was a slight odor but if you set it up and let it air out for a couple of days, it does disapate.

If you are planning to cut it before using it, then yes, I would wash it after cutting it to get all of the frayed edges to rid themselves of the threads that are going to come free. In my experience, it shrank considerably so keep that in mind when making the cuts.

I did read that is not recommended,however I do use a little bit and after use just make sure you wash it off.

I wash it through a fine mesh strainer. I think it taste better if you wash it good before cooking.

Wash it with mild detergent and hot water, and rinse thoroughly. It should be fine after that.

Hello. Wash before first use and after each use in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Dishwasher safe, top rack only.

I haven't washed mine yet, but I assume you can wash it whenever you want. I would just use a delicate cycle.

The product should be cleaned as per instructions. "When cleaning is necessary, simply throw in the washing machine on regular cycle with hot water and one ounce of chlorine bleach to sanitize." Mine have been fine using this method.

I just pop it in the dishwasher. There is no need for pre-washing before it goes in the dishwasher, although I do rinse it briefly before placing the bowl and blades into the dishwasher.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

In my opinion, this item is by the babies face, therefore wash before use!!!

Just take the fabric part off and wash it if necessary? Or just put a towel or something in there.
