does this need to be washed before use? Thanks!

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.

Honestly don't know never washed it. I assume you can clean it with a damp cloth tho?

washing is not needed at all........just use a pointed object to remove anything left behind. Doesn't take long to get done

Yes. I washed it in cold water with a regular fregrance free detergent. I hung to dry. Oh and after reading the other posts, I did use my top loader on delicate. Looks great.

Sorry, but I don't know because I have not had to wash mine. I would think you can wash it but don't put it in the dryer.

It does not say anywhere on the package that it is washed, so I would assume that it is not. Had I known, I would not have purchased. Note that this product is not returnable.

Their own description claims: "No pre-wash necessary, Machine wash and dry." There were no qualifications about how you washed it in a washing machine, so wash it normal like anything else.

I have not had to clean it yet, normally i just shake it off well before stuff sacking it. However, I don't think i personally would trust putting this in the washing machine, and definitely not the dryer. I'd worry about something twisting up or catching on something. I would probably recommend hand washing and then hanging it to dry if you feel the need to fully wash it. Hope This is helpful.

I wash everything for baby before 1st use in dreft just to make sure it's clean, but if you absolutely don't want to wash it I would put it in dryer for a few minutes to make sure there is no dirt or dust on it!

We keep it covered with a mattress protector, so not sure how to answer your question. I haven't tried to wash it yet.

I only used mine twice, and have not tried to wash it. I suppose if you did wash it, it would have to be hand washed. I definitely do not think you could put it in a dryer.

i have not yet cleaned it only aired it out. I intend to wash it in a gentle warm wash in the washing machine when it needs it.

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

Yes no problem just wash it with fresh water after use and let dry before opening.

No. I have even washed mine in the dishwasher. It is high quality. I love it!

I washed it all before I used it. Turned out great! Would suggest doing it on a perma press cycle. BB

I haven't washed it. It is in the guest room and gets little use. It appears to be sturdy construction and washable fabric. Would likely need ironing to preserve shape.
