Do you wash your new clothes before you wear them?

Well, if i was very anal about it, i would have, because if it isn't a new piece and it's a shop where you buy the clothes off the racks and doesn't keep new stocks which are still in their packages, then that would be a little gross. I mean, you just don't know what kind of people have tried those pants on before right? But of course, to make your life worry-free, and to just enjoy using that pants you just bought, i guess it's okay not to wash them. Well, i don't! Haha, that's because i have no time and i am just too lazy to wash a pair of pants which i have fooled myself to believe is completely new, right out of the package. It's easier that way. ;)

To be truthful if they are new with tags from the store then no I do not wash before wearing. But if they are from a second hand thrift store or are given to me, then Yes, I do wash them first. My brothers fiance freaked me out once a few years ago. We just got done school shopping for the kids and instead of hanging the new clothes up in the closet she goes and tosses everything straight into the clothes hamper to be washed first. I never seen no one do that before except with baby clothes. She says she does it because of the starches and dyes in the clothes can cause the kids to be itchy when the clothes aren't washed first. But I bet a lot of people wash their kids clothing first or their own.

I sometimes do that. When I bought some new shirts, I had them put into the laundry the moment I arrived home. I think a friend of mine once told me to do that and made some pretty good points on why I should but, I don't really get to do that often, perhaps its due to the fact that I can't buy new clothes as often as I would want to. Recently, I bought a jacket and it crossed my mind to have it washed first before actually using it but, two days after purchasing the said item, I needed a jacket. I decided to use it in the end without really having it washed.

I always wash the new clothes after I bought them. Although they look clean, but actually they contain virus during the production process. I like to wear clean clothes. Besides, I can check whether the clothes have good quality or not after washing. If it has a bad quality, I may go to get my refund. I love China

I normally did not. But there were times when the clothes smelled different and felt different, like made me itchy. I would wash them first on those times.

For hygenic, sanitation, and health purposes, it would be advisable to wash new clothes before wearing them. New clothes, especially t-shirts have a certain smell -- I think it's from the chemicals used in printing the design of the shirt. That chemical smells irritating to the nose at times. Also, the raw materials of clothes have been exposed to dust, dirt, and other chemicals in the factory. These particles may cause irritation to the skin, especially those that come in contact to our sensitive areas like pants, shorts, underwear. With these, I think it would be safe to wash it than be sorry later on.

Yes, I do wash my new clothes and also new fabric I buy as well. There are things in the dyes and the fabric sizing that is not necessarily good for your skin.

BOth? I think its a yes and no, if I'm really excited to wear my new clothes then I don't wash them but when my mother sees me she'll tell me to wash them first. So that's it, if my mom is around I always wash them.

It depends on how long they have been in the store and of course, whether they are washable. If the clothes look as if they will not shrink or lose color, then I might wash them but it depends.

You are actually supposed to wash them first before wearing them because of the harmful effects of dyes and things they put on the clothes in the process of making them. I dont like to wash mine first. I love to feel the clothes while they are new and stiff and fit just perfect. After washing them they might not fit quite as well as that very first time. I love the smell of new clothes as well.

Normally i wash them before use.But at certain times i buy clothes just before a festival,hence i don't wash them.Its just a question of buying well in advance so we aren't hurried.When time is at our disposal we can wash and wear new clothes.

I am too excited to wash the new clothes I bought, I just hang them in my closet and wear soon, however, for the clothes that I think needs washing, I wash them first before wearing.

hmhm yes ,, i am cause if i will not wash it seems so itchy to me.,.,.,..and i think even though it is new there's always a dirt .,.

sometime we need to wash it before wear them,,,because mostly that been too long in the shop and we need to ensure it's cleaness before and maybe we need to wash it again

Yes,of course! I do wash any of my new clothes before I wear them. I usually will wash my new clothes with salt water and washing powder together. Because the new clothes might have the carcinogenicity of chemicals- formaldehyde might still left on new clothes for wrinkle-free treatment, sometimes the new clothes was smelly, that is this chemical, it is used to process cotton wrinkle flaws. According to the research showed that the addition of formaldehyde can cause acute eye symptoms, cough, rashes and other visual impairment, whatever we should wash the new clothes before we wear for safety.

Yes, i usually wash them before i use them. Sometimes these newly bought clothes are itchy to wear and doesn't smell good as well.

Yes. You should always wash your clothes before using them. I saw a documentary several years back that featured a couple that worked in a textile company that got skin disease because of being exposed to newly treated cloths. You may also iron your new clothes before washing them to protect its color so it will not fade too much during the wash and to reduce shrinkage of your clothes.

Yes because I just want the smell of freshly cleaned clothes.

I ALWAYS wash before wearing. Im pretty sure it says to on the tag. I wouldnt want to catch anything especially after hearing the story about a lady in egypt buying a bra and not washing it and insects laying eggs in her boobs (horribile pictures) even though I know its fake

personally, I wash the new clothes that i purchase before I actually use them. Just to make sure that they are clean and that they smell good.
