How do I wash Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt?

Yes, one quick wash before first use locks colour and primes the fibres. First-wash dye bleed is normal →

<article id="tool-bathroom-mitt-prewash" class="promo-article"><p><strong>TL;DR:</strong> Yes. Give <a href="https://koh.com/products/ultra-pro-bathroom-mitt" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:#0C447C; text-decoration:none;"><strong>Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt</strong></a> one quick wash before first use.
