I've never noticed lint on my ergo like I did my k'tan. I've washed it and it still looks new!

I haven't noticed any lint. You can always put it in the washer by itself to prevent lint, and throw in a couple of dryer sheets.

I have a black Ergo and haven't noticed any lint - it doesn't even pick up pet hair much (and we have cats and a dog).

I haven't washed mine yet but I think my daughter washed hers. If you follow the directions and let it air dry, I think you will be OK. If I decide I need to wash mine, I'll repost to let you know.

Same answer as Sheli. I have to scrub it with soap and a washcloth or loofa multiple times because I make mine very thick and dark. Good luck.

Sadly have to admit. . .Haven't washed it yet. I am waiting to have the time to take it to an industrial laundromat big enough to try to have plenty of room inside to wash it in a delicate cycle. And then hang it out to dry. Here's to fingers crossed!

I wash and dry mine at home...no problem. It came out looking like it did brand new. The only thing is... I would not wash in a top loading washer with the agitator...it would probably tear it, as it would any comforter! Mine did not shrink... I dried it on medium heat. I wash and dry mine and my children's all the time...never had a problem. We absolutely love them. My 10 year old grand daughter asked for one for Christmas instead of toys...that should tell ya something!

I have washed my Comfort Carrier 3 times, the bib quite often. So far the color stays. I didn't presoak it and only use regular detergent, I dry it by throwing into my dryer.

I never wore it against my skin because the fabric irritated my skin and the Velcro poked me. I always wore it over a tank top or maternity pants that fully cover my abdomen. Therefore, I've not yet felt the need to clean it. Given the quality, I imagine if you hand wash it then you won't have any problems.

I think it would be difficult to wash in the washer but you could hose it off and let it dry. Mine got dirt and sand splash when it rained when it dried I was able to just brush it off. The material is like a ski jacket...somewhat slick.

I have always dry cleaned it. Not sure, but it might shrink if laundered. Hope this helps.

Hello there, the fabric I am familiar with has a light rubber or pVC coating on it. If it gets dirty, it is recommended that you use water and a soft cloth (nothing abrasive) to clean up the dirty places. It is not recommended that you use heavy duty cleaners etc on it, so I would assume that also means you shouldn't machine wash it. It appears to be relatively easy to clean (of course that depends on what it is soiled with). Hope that helps, God Bless.

Used like how? Linty? Worn tip? The box it comes in made mine linty. The tip on mine looked kinda weird when I got it and wore down really quickly (like a week) so that it didn't glide anymore. It was weird. The seller is awesome and you can contact them about it.

Thank you for your quick response. Other comments were so positive that I ordered it hoping it was washable. Thanks!!

You could wash it in the machine on gentle or just spot clean with a wash cloth or wet wipe. I have it in black and it never looks dirty. I've seen a few cream ones and they look good, too. The material has some sheen to it, so it cleans and dries well.

I use dreft detergent and always wash on the gentle cycle. It keeps getting softer but not stretched and no stains dreft couldn't take care of :)

I have washed it in the washer with warm/cold water, detergent and oxi cleaner. I dried it in the dryer on high heat. I washed and dried it with a towel load. It came out fine. It was hard to unsnap but that's probably good so that it doesn't come off unless you want it to.

I've not had a problem with lint on mine. But, I've not had a major issue with lint on any of my teething necklaces.

I washed mine with my prefold diapers in hot water with All Fee and clear and bleach at least 1 time per week. 6 months later they were going very strong. However I actually ended up purchasing Fleece from the local fabric store and liked it better. Same washing instructions for the fleece from the fabric store
