Do we need to wash this before first use?

I have never washed it before use as it is sanitized. After washing there will be a slight change in the feel/smell, but I thought it was only negligible. Now after 100s of washings it is still a favorite!

I have purchased 1 for each of my grandchildren. We did not wash before using.

I never did! And when it's time for a washing take it to an organic dry cleaner. I made the mistake of washing it at home on a gentle cycle and it made it have a very strange smell for two or so months. I finally got rid of the smell by laying flat in the sun about every day! My baby loves his lamby!!! Fits in the b.o.b stroller as well. I also use it in the grocery cart underneath the baby cart cover for added comfort for him!!!

I don't think so. It says it's natural. And doesn't have any chemicals. I was using it for my baby.

No. It's already been washed and secured in a plastic bag. Get it, your baby will love it. And don't wash too often. Baby will feel secure in a familiar smelling place.

no. according to the product information it is pre-sanitized. This is amazingly soft also. My granddaughter loves hers.

No! It comes sanitized, so just air it out. None of my babies (35, 32, 30) or my grand babies (2 & 2 months) have balked at the smell. Rather, they bury their little faces in-and that's the best part, they can always breathe because of the fibers. Use it for tummy time and watch!

you can wash it anyway you want. I have already washed mine. It did not hurt it.

Yes it can be washed. We have no problem washing. The first couple times we washed it alone just in case

You wash it once or twice at the start of it all, then once every 6-8 hours you rinse it. I hope that answered your question.

There is no mention of washing it prior to first use. It does not have any smell to it at all out of the package. I did not wash it first. Washing or drying it with other articles of clothing leads to the other articles being wadded up inside of the protector and not washing or drying well.

Yes you can wash it. However, I recommend you hand wash it with a mild soap as a washing machines agitation cycle may be a little too much for the fabric.

well I haven't washed it yet; but plan to put in top loading washer. I put a pillow case on it so it wouldn't get dirty.

We haven't needed to wash ours either. I would think you could just wash it by hand.

I washed everything before I first used it and just wiped it dry with a towel

Yes you need to the first time you use it as per the instructions. This is done to remove moisture in the system.

I haven't tried washing it yet but from personal experience on things like this, I can imagine one can wash it on gentle cycle and it should be fine.

We initially had to soak it for a couple hours I'm water before the first use. You can probably just do that once in a while as maintenance after.

I don't know. We have always washed it by hand to be on the safe side. Sorry this probably does not help you much.

Sure just use a mild detergent or hand soap and wash by hand only. Air dry, and your ready to go in a couple of hours or so..

No need to, you can just washed it with the washing machine. But i didn't put it into the dryer just in case the EXO printed name will has some cracks.just let it dry naturally

I have not yet had to wash it. I do know that it should be washed without fabric softener.

Hello. Wash before first use and after each use in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Dishwasher safe, top rack only.
