Nah, they come in sealed plastic. I just soak em in the bucket for maybe a minute or two before using. I use wool mitts, BTW.

Yes, I always do. New mitts seem to be always loaded with extra lint that gets everywhere if you don`t wash them, plus there was a time where the mitt *wasn`t* in that plastic baggie, so there`s no telling what`s in it. It might be a little overboard, but hey, why not?

I have, from light machine washing to a simple quick wash by hand and rinse in the sink with some car wash first.

I wash `em too. Somebody here who knows his textiles (IIRC it was DFTowel) once said that if you ever saw such things being manufactured you`d really :scared: and you`d *always* wash *anything* before using (or wearing) it.

i`ll soak mine in a 5 gallon bucket with water (for about 10 minutes), and then before using i agitate it and squeeze out the water, and then use it.
