Hi, I got around 120 of these for my wedding reception to place M&Ms in. Are these Jars sanitary right out of the box, or do I have to wash them?

I ran them through the dishwasher and they were fine. Make sure they are dry around the plastic seal.

I got these for spices for Christmas gifts. I didn't wash them before using them.

I did a quick wash first before using them. I also remember a sticker on them. I think I soaked them in hot water and the sticker came right off They are really cute little jars.

I definitely washed mine before using them - hate to think of any of their processing chemicals touching your M&Ms;!

What a great idea!!! They were very clean when I got them -- but I do recommend just wiping them out with a micro-fiber cloth (switching out for another clean one often) to make sure any dust is out. Then they won't be wet when you put the M&Ms; in.

I washed and dried before use. I do not remember the package came with instructions for use or not.

I bought these for a gift so haven't used them myself - and surprisingly they didn't come with washing instructions - but I would wash them with dish soap and towel dry. I wouldn't put them in the dishwasher just to be safe. The box says they're lacquered to resist tarnishing.

absolutely. i wash them by hand. I have used them numerous times since I purchased them last August.

I believe they said hand wash, but I have run them on the top shelf of my dishwasher with no issues :)

They should stick just fine. However I would see if there's a slightly bigger template you could use to print it out on. They dont like to cover all the way. I stuck mine to glass mason jars and aluminum lids and the sicky on them is very good. Good luck with the wedding. :)

I have them in my classroom, and haven't needed to wash them. I would say they would need spot cleaning. I'd guess that they are too thick to be machine washable. They are great quality and comfortable!

We have used ours multiple times since Christmas and have not noticed any problems. We do hand wash them, but I doubt we are doing anything different than you?!

I used one as a lingerie bag, on the gentle cycle. I don't recall offhand if they *are*, but I think if you put them all into one bag and used gentle cycle, minimal or no soap, air dry they would be fine.

They are sterile so you don't need to wash them. Just open one and attach it. I haven't tried reusing them. I thought about it until I started using them. I think it's impractical.

I've washed them with dish soap and haven't had an issue. I have not tried them in the dishwasher.

Yes. I have not had any problems with mine. i do Always hand wash immediately after using (i.e. I do not leave them with food dried and stuck to them overnight, and I store them in a flatware chest so that they are protected and not rubbing against each other. They are a beautiful set and I am very careful with them as k want them to look new every time I use them!

Congrats on your wedding...They are individually packaged so I see no reason why they shouldn't or wouldn't stay fresh.

I have washed them inside a couple toys, though not many times yet, and it seems to be fine. They seem pretty watertight, so I'm not too worried about them and mine are still intact from what I can hear, so I would assume it's fine to wash them.

I have washed them and they do fine in the washer. I just used light cycle. I also dried with no problem.

I used them for my wedding reception. They had fluid in them for a solid 10 hours, I had no issues personally with that. I didn't hear any complaints from the wedding party. I haven't used them since though, they sit in my wedding cabinet. I hope that helps.

Hubby and I can think of no reason that these shouldn't be washed. I wouldn't care if they couldn't. They are terrific! I'm in love with them and would recommend them to anyone. Just heed their warning not to use it where steam is concerned.

Thank you for your interest in this item. These should not be hand washed because on the inside, there is the fiberboard that cannot get wet. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean off any messes if needed.
