How do you care for this? Do you wash it after use?

I rinse it, but don't use soap; I'm under the impression that with repeated use it becomes seasoned and sticks less.

Yes, it can be washed. But handle them gently with cool water and then let them drain and air dry. I usually use a small brush on mine to dislodge the flour that has impacted in the grooves, and rinse them then let them dry.

No. I don't wash my basket. Before use I add a little bit of flour and swirl it around. After the dough is done I just shake the flour out and keep the basket covered with a cloth. I make sure my dough is not too wet and I never had any dough sticking to it. I love to use the bread basket because it gives the baked bread a unique pattern. By the way I bake my sour dough bread in a cast iron pot with closed lid in a high temperature oven. The finished loave looks like from an artisan bakery. Hope this helps.

No washing. Bang out the loose flour. We store ours in a closed cupboard and use them often, so we don't even enclose them in a bag where moisture could collect. You want them dry and floury for use. Always reflour before use.

I use plenty of flour and do not need to wash it at all - I just bang it in the sink - clean up is a breeze!

In my opinion, these should be treated like baking linens and not washed. I shake the excess flour out of mine and store them in a large 2 gallon zip lock bag. When I am ready to reuse I re-dust them with fresh flour.

No, never put it in water. Let it sit then just bang it on a counter and all the flour and excess sticky dough will come out, don't worry if any remains, it's part of the process.

Rinse out after use and clean with soap and water every few days. Ours has been used for over 6 months and looks brand new.

Yes. You should wash it with soap and water after every use. Turn inside out to clean the inner part.

I haven't washer mine yet. When I do wash it, I'll put it in a bucket with cold water and some mild soap, and swish it around. Air dry. It'll be fine.

I wash it on gentle cycle, alone in the washing machine. Then dry on low heat. It comes out looking brand new every time - :)

No, I do not clean it after every use. I do rinse it out from time to time and wipe the outside more often and it always looks lovely. No problems whatsoever.

I wash it manualy. Keep it at least 3-4 hours to dry after usage in upside down position.

I wash mine like so: tilt it and keep it looking (bristles) down under the pouring lukewarm water and using shampoo to wash it. Wash out the shampoo thoroughly and then gently squeeze the bristles to get some of the water out, dab it on a clean towel, and just let it air dry.

I washed it originally then I heated it ( be carful not to over heat it or scorch it) with bacon grease. I kept adding a little and wiping it around. After I used it, I soaked it in some water, then wiped it out, heated and greased it again. Store it in the broiler if you have one.

Is this dry clean only or can you wash this? How does it look after either cleaning method?

I have washed it in the washing machine, it has survived it several times. But use a gentle cycle. :)

I wash mine with dish detergent. Run it under water to get it wet, then put a few drops of detergent on both sides, agitate the surface with your fingers. Afterwards, run it under the water again to rinse while squeezing the excess suds/soap out. When you're finished let it air dry.

I've never had to wash it because I let it air dry upside down on a rack after every use. If I were to wash it I would use a few drops of household bleach added to a liter of water, pour it in the bag, close it and shake for a minute, then let sit for a 10 minutes, and then air dry upside down.

We rinse it clean with warm water and pat dry with a towel. You could also use a type of wipe to clean it.
