How often do you wash it? Do I have to keep it in a plastic bag to avoid grit and scratching? Where do you keep it?

Wash when it looks dirty (like with a towel, no fabric softener). I have several, tossed in drawers, glove compartments, and desks. No special care is needed, however, if you drop it in the dirt wash before using.

I've had this cloth for years and I think I may have washed it once or twice. I keep it next to my bed and use it to clean fingerprints off my tablet and phone and to clean my reading glasses. I don't like washing microfiber cloths because they seem to pick up every tiny bit of fluff. Would probably be OK if just washing microfiber but they're so small it's hard to get a full load. And I don't have it in any kind of bag, it sits on top of my glasses case within easy reach. Best screen and lens cloth I've used.

I have yet to wash it, though I have shaken it out a few times. I store it in the bag it came in.

D. Williams - I wash the 3M High Performance Cloth about every 3 uses. I do keep the cloth in a plastic bag to keep it clean, and to prevent it from picking up any particles that may scratch TV or computer screens. I keep the cloth in its plastic bag in the entertainment center for easy access, but I think you could store it almost anywhere.Hope that I've been of some help.

I wash it when it starts to look dirty, no you don't have to put it in a plastic bag it doesn't scratch. I put mine in a drawer.

I haven't owned it that long, so I never never washed it. I just keep it in the bag it came in. I would assume you could just shake it out and get the dust off.

I just keep up on it with windex and a wrag. If they get nasty and pitted you can use windex with some "0000" steel wool and it will shine them up nice without scratching them. Make sure its "0000" tho

Definitely do not machine wash this! To clean mine and remove any lime scaling, I pour distilled white vinegar directly in it and let it sit for a bit. Then I use a non-scratch sponge and vigoursly scrub the inside and then rinse out with hot water. Works like a charm. Though I think if you're someone with large hands, it might be difficult to reach inside but my boyfriend doesn't seem to have to much a problem with it.

No wear really. It still looks brand new. I use windex on it and cleans quickly.

i haven't either. i just handwash it carefully. i'm assuming at some point it will probably get wet inside, sustain damage, possibly become unusable?

i've not washed mine, i just whack it to get hair, crumbs out. BUT if i were to wash it i'd probably put it in a pillow case, delicate, cold, etc.

I haven't had any scratching as of yet and I stack mine, but I would not use a dishwasher as in my experience if the water sets in the folds of the pan it will eventually rust. They all will in my opinion. Hand washing takes very little time. I hand wash all my sharp knives as well.

I have not had any issues, but I avoid using any "green" scrubber type cleaning. It's not surprising it scratched. I usually just soak it in warm soap water and wipe with a cloth to clean them.

The instruction manual states that you can clean it in a dishwasher (use some sort of mesh bag to keep it from flying around in the dishwasher.) And that if you use it regularly, you should clean it ever three weeks in this manner.

I've washed mine several times in the dishwasher and haven't had a problem. The cooking surfaces are extremely easy to scratch though. Plastics or wood utensils only...

I bought mine to replace a cloth I'd had for years. I just scraped it with a flat blade, added a bit more flour, and scraped it again. Then I store it covered with paper towels, wrapped around the rolling pin and stored in a clean plastic bag. But if you're rolling out spicy dough, you might want to wash it with warm water and gentle cycle. Btw, I also bought the non-slip product to place the pastry cloth on...and roll it along with the whole thing. I love the non-slip thing as the cloth stays put!

With a stainless steel inside, hot water and a cloth should be used to clean it. Any type of a brush could scratch it.

I shake it out. If there is anything left on it, then I just wipe with a wet paper towel. I have also vacuumed mine if the bag on the vacuum is ready to be changed. I have had mine since October and it shows no wear at all.

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.

I just wipe mine down. Occasional I have to break it completely apart and clean the inside/outside of the plastic, but not a big deal. Overall I have been very please with this purchase.

It's a plastic mesh, so it could be washed although I have never had to wash it since it's always been indoors.

I hand wash it. Be extra careful when using/washing as it is very sharp. I also store it in the protective plastic sleeve that it came with.
