Doesn't the bag tell you to wash them before use?

Depends on the bag I suppose.

Yes you can wash them.

There old used for 2 years I wondered if I can wash the sodium off them easily or if just buy new

Not sure what you mean by sodium.

Most water soluble compounds should be pretty easy to wash off. Some will do better with hot water.

But probably you got your money's worth in two years.

My last soil went dadt high in salt content so the stones do too as they sat in it
lava rocks and pearlite eh just wondered if I could wash em to be safe wouldn’t wanna add them back filled o salt would kill the reason why I have rebuilt soil

You can wash them but it will take some rounds of washing to make sure they clean. Also, for perlite u need a mesh to strain them, as they will float.

A good soil doesn't need perlite.

But lava rocks a good soil needs
