Sarah on Oct 12, 2015I wash mine regularly and then soak them for a bit in hair conditioner. It softens them up nicely, especially after drying. The hair conditioner also takes away the musty smell.1 marked as helpful Reply

Z on Oct 12, 2015Burlap is not an easy fabric to work with. I would highly advise as I believe Rebecca was suggesting, to put it inside a pillow case as it will shed something terrible in both your washer and dryer and those fibers will be all over anything else you wash in it. I did find a blogger who wrote an article on how she softened it and by the pictures it looks as if she may have the right idea. http://www.stonegableblog.com/washed-burlap-tutorial/Helpful Reply

163130 on Oct 12, 2015In my opinion burlap is burlap if you want to use it as a rustic accent piece use it in a craft you can hang on a wall not on a cushion that someone is going to rub up against. Burlap is rough and scratchy no matter what you do to it. I look at burlap and start itching LOL!Helpful Reply
