Can these nibs be washed in soap and water and reused or are they one-time use?

I don't think it's possible to clean them and refill the paint. Once a color is used up, you'll have to repurchase it. As for contamination of the tip, like if another color gets on the nib, you can just rub that right off.

I'm sure they are reusable. I have hand washed them but not dishwashered them. I'm sure you can.

They are reusable for only about a week, but after that they are no longer to be used. For that week, rinse and reuse as much as you need!

They are machine washable, but hang dry them while molding them to your hands. Of course, they can be washed and re-used over and over.

I've wondered the same thing. I don't think they are supposed to be reusable, but I can reuse them if I keep them clean.

I wash and rinse them everyday and reuse. Can last a long time if used this way.

Sorry, but I haven't tried. I always wash them by hand, which I feel is far better when dealing with smaller items. Based on the apparent quality, it should be OK, but this is speculation.

These are disposable plates. If you hand washed them in lukewarm water, you may be able to reuse them a couple times, but they are definitely not designed to be reusable.

No...they are not to be washed in hot water. I rinse mine out with warm water; then I refill and refrigerate until I am ready to carbonate and add flavoring.

Yes, they are only supposed to be used 1 time. They are disposable. You may be able to use them twice but I wouldn't risk it.

My understanding is they are supposed to be used only once. I haven't used mine yet.

yes. I wash mine in cool water with mild soap by hand, rinse well, air dry and they're good as new.

If you are going to use them for food (either baking or food portioning), then it would probably be a good idea to wash them first. I bought mine to make soap in, so I just gave them a quick rinse in warm water before using them for the first time.

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

To a point... I have washed them once and reused but they are definitely disposable.

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.

Just wash them in warm water. You can use a little soft-soap if you like, but don't use any harsh solvents or cleaners.
