View Full Version : Do you wash new clothes before you wear them?

Penny Lane 11-18-2015, 09:43 PM I wash certain things like towels, sheets, undies or things I want softer like jeans, or stiff cotton clothes. I do too. Especially towels and sheets as they are treated with a scotch guard type thing to repel dirt and dust. If towels especially aren't washed first they will not absorb well. And also putting towels in the dryer gets all excess lint off. As for clothing, I usually wash t shirts and jeans before wearing them. They too are treated. DJM77 11-18-2015, 10:27 PM Yes Family Ties Forever! 11-18-2015, 10:36 PM Yes, I do. I have sensitive skin. I wash clothes, sheets, towels etc. I know clothes have dye in them. After they have been washed once I can wear the clothes and use the towels and sheets. Coffeecup 11-18-2015, 11:00 PM Sometimes. Usually underwear, that is drawers, are in a plastic bag so I figure they are clean. As for every Tina, Dora and Harriet trying the clothes on before me, I take my chances I'm not going to get a rash. How do I know they have tried the clothes for I do usually find the shirt buttoned up on the rack. On the other hand, with pants, I have to hem them up for the legs are long. I do find after I hem them, I wash them and sometimes I think they might have shrunk. I don't want my pants to hang too low or be too high water looking either.So for shrinkage, I should wash first. I tend to think dyes of the past aren't a problem like they used to be. But I will let you know if I get a rash.. Bonniegirl 11-18-2015, 11:19 PM I wash new sheets and towels!!!
