Q&A(16)
Q: How do you clean this after each use? Do you just rinse it or do you have to wash it in a washing machine? Does it dry fast?
A: Simply rinse it off and squeeze any water out by rolling the bath up. Then, if needed you can throw it into the washing machine or put it straight into the dryer. If you don't have a dryer you can use the hang loop on the back to air dry the bath.
submitted byBlooming Bath - 5 years agoA: NOT WELL - it is too thick to properly wring out and it gets water all over. After a few uses it stinks like mildew. Have to wash with a full load or else the machine goes out of balance.
submitted bysan mas - 2 years agoA: You can wash it or just rinse it off. It takes quite a while to dry as it's more of a fabric than quick dry material.
submitted byKh - 7 years agoA: I ring it out and throw it in the washing machine, then place it in the dryer. I have been using it for 9 months and it's still in great shape!

Q: How does it dry after bath time? do I have to throw it in the washer or let it air dry?
A: SUPER HEAVY when wet, it's too thick to properly wring out and it gets water all over. After a few uses it stinks like mildew. Have to wash with a full load or else the machine goes out of balance.
submitted bysan mas - 2 years agoA: It has a tag to hang it out to dry but beware that it's full of water and you need 2 hands to wring it out before moving it otherwise you will have water everywhere!
submitted byKh - 7 years agoA: You can pop it right in the dryer or can let it air dry. We recommend that if you live in a hot humid climate that you use the dryer if possible to completely dry the bath.

Q: Will this work in a farm sink?
A: Yes, it can work in a farm sink but your baby will lay much flatter on the bottom of the sink and not be as propped up as they would be in a smaller sink.
submitted byBlooming Bath - 5 years agoA: I tried ours in our farm sink but it didn't work like I had wanted it to. Our farm sink is too big for it as the flower petals don't bunch together like they should in a small normal sink.

Q: Is this good for a newborn or would it be too big?
A: I used it with my newborn. She was 7lbs. It worked great and she seemed very comfortable. She enjoys this product very much!
submitted byMountain mamma - 7 years agoA: The Blooming Bath was designed specifically for newborn babies. The flower cushions the baby so that they are very comfortable and safe.

Q: can you use this in a bath tub
A: The Blooming Bath was designed for the sink but for older babies you could use the bath in the tub for extra padding.
submitted byBlooming Bath - 5 years agoA: I suppose you could but it would just lay flat then.

Q: can this item be used in a regular bath
A: Our Blooming Bath was designed specifically for a sink. This enables the petals to come together to make a soft supportive nest for the baby while bathing. If used in a tub it would lay flat and only act as a soft cushion.

Q: Could one use this as a bath for a small dog who weighs less than 10lbs? Are the petals or base inflated with air (which could be popped by claws)? Thanks!
A: Absolutely! This bath is made with foam and anti-slip fabric on the bottom so it should help your dog not slip in the sink or tub.
