New Clothes

[HappyMe6]

Do you wash the clothes you buy from stores before you wear, well I must be a filthy cow cos I don’t! Only underwear! I’m still alive and kicking. My friends were horrified 🤣

Not horrified I’m alive and kicking I might add

No. Don't wash underwear either. It's never occurred to me to do so.

No, never have

Never

No never. I remember my mil was horrified i didnt wash a cucumber when i bought it from the supermarket. What the devil did she think had happened to it?! 🤣🥒 edited to say it wrapped in plastic!

I'm a washer I'm afraid! I think about all the people that have touched the clothes in a shop and like to have my own scent on them.

Never including undies. I only washed new baby clothes before using

NO

Only my kid's clothes. It's a habit now.

Never

Never washed anything, including underwear

Only dark blue jeans (the dye came off on DS1s) legs once when I didn't.

Never.

Clothes these days aren't made to wash well and last well. They'll never look quite as good as they did on that first wear before washing.

Clothes no, including underwear.
Food, always. When fruit and vegetables are grown they come into contact with manure, pesticides etc. Pickers and other handlers may a a stomach bug. Unless it is pre-washed I always wash.

sometimes but not always, particularly things that I order online that arrive having been wrapped in plastic for some time. They often smell a bit funny and the creases don't come out unless washed first.

Always . Lots of people will have touched them, I buy most clothes secondhand from Vinted so would always wash them before I tried them on, new clothes sometimes have creases from where they've been folded for ages or you get fluff or dye transfer from brand new clothes. I remember the time I got DD1 a new school jumper, forgot to wash it first and when I took it off her she was absolutely covered in black fluff from the inside of the jumper 🤣.

It's just what I do though, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if other people don't.

The only clothes I'd wash before wearing is jeans, in case there's any dye to wash out. Other than that, nope.

Almost always, but I have sensitive skin so any excess dye or anything used to iron it flat or just plain old dust on clothing is likely to make me itch. I also wash new to me second hand clothes because they always smell wrong - like someone else’s washing powder.

No unless I get the item from Vinted, even if it's brand new with tags
