I have been warned of the dreaded salty coir, but the nursery that I trust has provided three different brands "for horticultural use" or similar over the years, and I have had no problems with any mulch or ground product. I wet the coir with tap water but do not wash it.

Presumably the packaging would stress washing if salt was in there, but in my mind I would lay the responsibility for a safe product in the hands of the people at the nursery you trust. Should they provide salty coir, they are not choosing the supplier or product right. When in doubt wash away, by all means... but that has not been necessary in my experience.
