Do I need to wash these 5 or so times before use??

I completely forgot to prep these hemp inserts and noticed they did leak the first time or two. They're so absorbent now though! Five times is probably more than needed.

I washed them once, and they worked fine but they do increase in absorbency after several washes.

Haven't needed to wash them yet. If you are concerned about spills, the material is very much like a water resistant back pack. So, I would assume with several washes there would be some degrading, but any minor spills could be simply wiped out. Also, the handles are sewn in, and solid, so there would be some noise in the washing machine and dryer if you went that route.

I wash mine with shampoo and conditioner about every two to three days. That way they don't get oily.

It is recommended to hand wash them, but I do not see a problem machine washing them. Once they become dirty, I will machine wash them.

I washed mine about 5 or 6 times now but it's starting to come apart. time for new ones.

I can't even count how many times I have washed mine. Probably 20 at least. They are the same as day 1.

You can wash them with a little soapy water. I have kept the plastic guard covers and put them back on after cleaning

I haven't done that but I think it would be fine! I actually have only used any soap on them only once in the few months I've had them b/c rinsing in the washer works so well.

Wash them before first, and just spray them with PAM before use each time. Nothing more to it ;-)

Negative. I've had these sheets for over two months and have washed them six times. They are as good as when I bought them.

I think so, but I just wash them by hand, after using...and stand them up to dry.

I wash mine right after I use them, or at least run them under cool water while I briskly rub them together.Then later wash them with whites.

Yes, I wash them when I get them. I use them for flower essence potions for emotional issues, for tinctures and essential oils.

I washed mine before using them the first time. I have never used any kind of oil on them.

They recommend washing before first use. Some I washed first, some I didn't. I didn't see a noticeable difference.

Just wash them. I believe you hang dry them. So far have kept them pretty clean.

Hey Wizzy to 4, there's no need to wash them. When you finish showering or bathing just rinse thoroughly and hang to air dry.
