I know the packaging says to wash in warm water and let dry but is it safe to sterlize (i.e. put in water steamer)?

Manufacturer did not specify but I sterilize mine every day along with bottles, etc.

It depends. If the package says "Use only once" then you dispose them after one use, if it says "Reusable," then you can wash and reuse them. HIH.

yes, on the package of the nipple, it says that you can wash and reuse. I wash and sterilize mine every day.

Does the packaging really say that? That's extrely weird as these nipples are disposable. I know people wash them and reuse but they actually must be tossed after one use

Yes, in cold water with a mild detergent. I think it is necessary to air dry, though, so plan ahead for that. (wiping it with a dry towel will help speed the process)

I rinse it out with warm water and soap. As long as you don't submerge it you should be okay.

We washed them in cold water with detergent and dried them in the drier with our regular clothing. No problems encountered. We keep our fruits and vegetables in them in the refrig. Worth owningand very pleased with the purchase thru amazon.

I've never used it in a steamer, but it's made of nylon, so I wouldn't use it with heat. If you can find a cotton one, that would be safe for a steamer. I'd be worried about this one melting or leaching chemicals into whatever you're making with it.

The instructions I got say to wash it in cool water and mild soap. I do it by hand, not in the laundry.

Hi there. The instructions on how to wash it are on the back of the package. It should not shrink. The instructions say "Machine wash the Protector as quickly as possible after spillage, preferably while still fresh and wet. DO NOT USE BLEACH or BLEACH ALTERNATIVE. To avoid blistering, tumble dry in the dryer at medium (or lower) temperature always together with bed linens or towels (NEVER dry the Protector alone in a dryer)." I hope that helps. :)

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

Wash on gentle cycle. Do not bleach, cold water. Dry on gentle air fluff dry. Low heat

I would swish it around in the sink or tub using cool water & conditioner. Pat dry with a towel and let it air dry. However, some will come loose ( unravel).

I have sterilized mine in my avent electric steam sterilizer & my dishwasher. It is made of a silicon material similar to bottle nipples. I'm sure it would be okay in the microwave steamer especially if you do your bottle nipples that way. I don't like to microwave my stuff personally, but I don't think it would ruin the product from functioning.

Kim ~ I have always thrown mine in the washing machine with clorox.It does not lose it's shape or shrink; however, I do not put mine in the dryer.I have probably washed mine 20 times without any problems.

You do not soak in water before use, as you heat it in the microwave the moisture is drawn out of the beads inside the pack. I place my pad on a paper plate before putting in the microwave to heat up and there is always a small amount of moisture on the plate before I wrap it on myself. This heat pad is washable. Follow the directions on the packaging and make sure that it is dry before you heat to use it again.

Package recommended washing before use and every few months. Can't recall if it specified safe to dry but I washed and dried before use. Didn't have any problems like shrinking from drying!

Hi Barbara,That's is perfectly fine. We are improving and transitioning to a new packaging which comes in new dry form.Once you soak the sponge in the water, it will become very softHow to care for this new dry type is the same. Once you are done using the sponge, squeeze out all access water and hang it to dry in a dry area.Once every 2 weeks, we recommend sanitizing by either putting it in boiling water for 1-2 min or putting it in a bowl of water and microwave it for 1:30 minIf you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at info@mykonjacsponge.com.

I don't have the packaging anymore to confirm, but I think it said that you could NOT steam sterilize it. It is top dishwasher safe though.

I wash mine in my machine on regular cycle warm water. Dry in dryer on normal. Washes beautifully and dries so soft!! I use it for medical trach pads, trach collars and g-tube pads. So it gets washed a LOT on deep steam setting! Still comes out beautiful and soft with no signs of wear.
