Reasons to Wash New Clothes Before Wearing

Manufacturers often treat clothes with dyes, formaldehyde,

and finishing agents that can irritate the skin. Washing garments before wearing

them helps eliminate these substances, making the clothes safer to wear.

This is especially important for those with sensitive skin or allergies,

as unwashed fabrics may cause discomfort or reactions.

A quick wash ensures a more comfortable experience for everyone.

New clothes can also accumulate dust, dirt, and debris during production and shipping.

Washing them helps remove these particles, refreshing the fabric.

Since garments pass through several hands and may have been tried on

by others, there’s also the possibility of exposure to germs and bacteria.

Washing clothes before wearing them helps eliminate any potential contaminants.

Additionally, some fabrics feel stiff when new, and washing softens them, improving overall comfort.
