When buying new clothes _do you wash them before wearing them?

[BeCraftyFatball]

No Not normally.

Yes. They smell funny to me, all the labels have to come out as well.

No. Especially not evening wear. New clothes always look their best before they’ve ever been washed.

Just kids clothes, never my own.

This

Yes, always, apart from coats.

Yes, I’ve been inside a clothes factory…

Yes. Or have them dry cleaned.

If you ever worked in a warehouse or clothes shop, you would always wash “new” clothes because they are far from clean.

I always wash new knickers, towels, bedding and face cloths before using them. I also wash anything I get second hand. Anything else bought new I don't usually pre-wash.

95% of new clothes yes. New towels and bedding definitely yes!

No

No.

Absolutely not, you’d have to be mental

I did when buying baby clothes I was obsessed with the fact rats could have been in the delivery with them. My own clothes not so much 🤣

Always.

Absolutely.
Where are the clothes made? Who made them? What dyes, chemicals, mold, pesticides, rodents, insects, viruses, have been in contact with them on their journey halfway across the world?

100% I always wash clothes, bedding and towels etc. same with crockery, cutlery, glasses. I can’t understand anyone not washing things you bring into your home- you don’t know where they’ve been or whose been touching them.

Nope, never

Well I've survived almost 67 years without incident without washing new clothes. I don't wash clothes from Ebay, Vinted or second hand shops either.

No, but I do always have this niggling feeling that I should.

Usually yes, unless it’s something I need for a particular event and I don’t have time to wash and dry beforehand.

😂😂😂 you're deluded

& as well as unclean, they're full of chemicals.

@BeCraftyFatball anything next to my skin definitely. I wouldn't wash an outdoor coat though.

Eurgh

No. If it smelled or had visible stains I wouldn't buy it in the first place.
I also rarely hover in public loos, and nothing bad has happened there either

You should. Apart from the fact they're not clean, handled by numerous people, they also have a lot of chemicals in/on them.

people saying they're 100 & have never done it & they're ok, have no idea what the chemicals are doing to them.
