Can this be rinsed or washed? I teach elementary art and my students love using this during free time. It has since gotten discolored and looks gross.

I work in a hospital and hand out floam all the time for kids to squeeze when they get procedures done and then send it home. One family recently came back and said that it got wet and ruined it so I'll say no for this one. Hope that helps!

This unit is absolutely NOT washable. I have the user manual in-hand. In the "Cleaning & Maintenance" section it clearly states "Cleaning should only be done with a soft brush..." Also, in other parts of the user guide, it states that the unit should not be exposed to moisture. I would like to know how other users have concluded that this product is washable. What's more, the product description On amazon clearly indicates that it is not washable - these are rarely incorrect. What am I missing?

I rinsed it when it arrived. I then rinse with water after each use. Hope this helpful.

I have not washed it as yet. It is for decor. I do interior decorating and it looks beautiful on the table.

I wash and rinse with no problem. Soak the inside only and not the entire unit. I also let the unit thoroughly air dry before reusing.

My kids used them a few times and they spread paint all over the paint cups and the cup holder on the easel and days after it dried I washed it and it came right off. They haven't gotten their clothes stained with that paint yet but I'm pretty sure it will wash off.

I would assume its due to dishwasher soap. Im only saying that because I used a Mr. Clean sponge on mine and it dis-coloured it. Not pleased what it looks like, but am very happy how it cleans up..not hard to clean off sticking stuff. Sorry I don't know why you have to handwash it. God Bless

I always wash it in the dishwasher. I haven't noticed any problems or discoloration.

Hand washed it with a mild liquid soap and line dried.....no difficulties and not smelly. Did not put it in the drier because of the plastic and beads on the inside. i suggest removing it from the bath water immediately after use to dry properly. Enjoyed my tub and loved it. Very light weight

I have only washed mine once and I just threw it in the wash. Otherwise if difficult I would wash in Dawn dishwasher detergent. I do rinse it everytime I use it with just water when done riding

In all honesty, we never clean it. You can just wipe it out with a cloth or paper towel. Are you talking about washing it? Never done that before. We've had this particular one for several years now, by the way. It's a great little work horse.

It's completely reusable! You can wash it with soap and water and keep reusing it :) it's wonderful!

I'm a teacher and have used mine half the school year. I haven't washed them, but they are falling apart due to a lot of use (not abuse, just lots of use). I wouldn't think that gluing them would work. I would think just not washing them in the future would be the best solution.

Sorry, I don't know, I've never washed it. I use it for grinding up bars of soap.

I dont put mine in the washer, I put enough warm water in the bucket to cover it add some bleach let it soak. Spin it,then rinse it it stays white and smells fresh.

Mine is just stained from use. I'd imagine you'd have to wash it after every use to keep it bleach white. I've tried all types of soap and it's just stained.

I have not washed one of these either. I was a bit disappointed in the size, but had bought it for a very young child, and she seemed very very pleased, even months later! Of course, it needs to be washed and I see no reason why it would not be able to be kept clean for a child's enjoyment.
