New clothes ????
« on: March 29, 2018, 03:05:20 am »
When you buy new clothes...do you wash before you wear ?  Sometimes I will and other times I don't.

I always wash new things before I wear them.  It is hard to say what has came in contact with them.
Have a wonderful day!

I definitely wash new-to-me used clothes, but I usually just wear actual new clothes as they come. I find things get worse looking with each wash so I don't want to waste washing it while it looks its best for nothing.

 Everybody washes first it seems? That is smart!  Me myself, have to have them a little faded before wearing them....

I do wash underwear first.  Otherwise, I wear it right off.

Yes I believe in washing new clothes before I wear them. Sometimes just to get the chemical smell out of them, I have very sensitive skin.

I used to not wash new clothes but started because of not knowing who worn them first before me. I also know that dye can be in the clothing as well(black jeans)

Normally I wear first then wash but since I began to mostly shop at thrift stores, it is wash first then wear.

It depends on the clothes.  If they are outer clothes, I hang them to air out and use fabric cleaner.  Anything that is under clothes, I remove the labels and put in the hamper for the wash.  I must say that whenever  I buy new clothes, I never wear them right a way.  You never know who has tried on the clothes with bad body odor.

I'm a wash before wearing person. I just can't stomach the thought of who tried them on before I bought them.

If I buy new  I do not; but since I am more of a thrift shop and consignment shopper I generally will wash them first; with used shoes I always spray lysol in them and let sit for a day or longer  before wearing to try and cut down on possible germs and from so many people handling them.
