New clothes.....do you wash them before you wear them ????

before wearing my new clothes, i have them washed. but if i badly need to wear them, i don't. since i ask for the stock when buying clothes.

Usually I get them washed before wearing since they are dirty.. They have been displayed in the store for days, weeks, or maybe months and also there were people who tried or fitted them. Sometimes I buy clothes because I badly need it like I have to use it on the day or the next day then that would mean there's no more time to have them washed, dried, and ironed so I'll have to wear it and just spray cologne over them. lol

i can easily go on with new clothes. and most of the time, i wear my new clothes even without the need of having them washed first. i don't find anything wrong in doing so. and yup, undergarments ofcourse, i always wash them first before having them worn. happy myLotting!

I have never washed the clothes before I wear them and now that you brought the question before my mind, I guess you really don't know who was handling the clothes before you bought them. I shop at a ladies wear store and the staff are pretty good about watching people there. I have seen the staff ask someone who had clearly been drinking to leave the store and come back when she was feeling better, so I guess that's just one of the reasons I have felt safe to buy and wear. This is a good thread though.

Unless I have to wear it right then, I wash it first. You never know who tried on the clothing before you bought it and what their hygene habits are.

Yes I do wash my clothes before I wear them because I think that they have been worn before I got to them I shop at department stores and you can always try your clothes on before you buy i t i think that when you wash your clothes that is also a way to say clean and eliminate the dye that is still on the clothes and the fact that everyone has touched it

No, i do n't wash new clothes before wearing them. I think that there is no need of washing new clothes bcuz they r completelly new & no one has already used them. People must wash 2nd hand clothes before using them bcuz they have germs etc. in them & can affect our health but i never bought 2nd hand clothes & buy new clothes & wear them without washing before wearing.

It varies sometimes I will be in such a hurry to wear it I dont wash it. But if I wont be wearing it for awhile I will wash them.

Yes I always wash the new clothes before wearing it. The reason behind is, if the clothes are redimade then so many people will try to wear it and leave it. In this way some virus etc may come to us with that cloth. So better to wait for 1 day more, always prefer to wear washed clothes. Though it is true that due to curiocity to wear new one, we cannot prevent ourself by doing this but it is essential. At shop I have seen the clothes comes under feet of many people which arrests dust particles etc which may affect our skin resulting into illness. My advise is that always wear new clothes after washing them properly.

no! y should one wash the new cloths?? i always wear the new dresses without washing them. infact i like to wear them as it is.

it depends if the clothes looks really nice and is ready to be used then i will use it. But when it comes to underwear of course we have to do a lot of washing. We must think that these might had stumbled in the floors of different stores already so we have to clean up first before using it.

i always wore my new clothes directly from the pack irrespective to the texure though i usually prefer 100% cotton one. yes baby clothes we soaked them a few minutes in mild dettol water and the dried them before putting them on my little kids. i think unless you are buying clothes from a big lot on a roadside shop its not necessary to wash them before using them

Good question! I always like to wash them since it doesn't feel clean otherwise. But I never managed to get past my Mum. She says the "new look" is gone once you wash it. Since I am not that fussy anyway, I just wear them the first time without washing.

I always wash them. I have this idea of people trying on the clothes, so I won't even try the clothes on at the store. I always just buy whatever I need then wash it & try it. I pretty much know my size, so I don't really have any problems doing this. I don't buy myself clothes very often anyway. As faras clothes for my kids or hubby, whatever I buy I know will fit as well. I know their sizes better than they do.

Hello Apakabar2007, I always wash new clothes before letting them come into contact with my family. Aside from any dyes that may leach, all cloth is exposed to many people's hands, and equipment in the manufacturing process. I prefer to be on the safe side when it comes to my family's health.

When i bought a new clothes for myself,i do wash them before i wear them.Because some people fit that also we dont know that the one who fitted that before have a skin disease so its necessary to wash the new clothes before wearing it.

hey akbar is this ur wife mylotting in ur place actually mention of few words are indicating so never mind. nope i also new clothes like that for the reason u said?

Sometimes I do wash new garments before wearing. It all depends on where I buy them from.

lol, am guiety of this too. l rarely wash new clothes before wearing, unless it has stains. l see it as being clean. Even undies, since they are brand new, l also dont wash them. l got to start now by washing them before wearing. l think its more hygenic.

As for my baby's clothes, I make sure that I wash them before he wears it. With regards to my clothes, it depends on where I bought it and the condition of the clothes. If I bought it on bargain I usually wash it because it is fitted by most customers most probably. But if it a new stock, still sealed in plastic, I wear it even without washing.
