Should you always wash new clothes before wearing them?

[AI Opinion]

You really should wash new clothes before wearing them, especially anything that touches your skin directly. Fabrics can have leftover dyes, chemicals, finishes, and even dust from factories or shipping. These can cause irritation, allergies, or weird smells. A quick wash helps soften the fabric, remove residues, and makes the piece feel fresher and more comfortable on your body.

A wise sloth once said you should always try your new clothes on before washing them & if you like them wash them & if you don’t like them return them.

To save money you can always wear them in the shower & wash them that way.

Usually yes, unless they're packed. Because people might have tried them before and you never know who might have put her crusty coochie in the pants you've just bought.

They usually have the jeans stacked up in a big pile. Always grab your size in the middle and you can tell when they’re real clean and folded perfectly and they’re not sloppy looking

Hi 😊

[NoDecision]

Ewwwww!!

[Iron_Man]

@NoDecision why are you saying Eww? You just said you wouldn’t wash the clothes.

[NoDecision]

I don't in case I have to return them for any reason. You can't return them once they have been worn.. in most stores.

When I buy shirts and pants, I never washed them from the store. Only a week later after I’ve worn them once a week laundry duty. Because they are brand new the same thing with underwear comes in a package nobody has worn them before

[KostasKouvalis]

I heard you SHOULD, but I don't. And I usually try them on in the store first anyways, so if there's anything to catch, I already caught it

[EmmaMary]

Yes absolutely.

[Abbycado]

Yep. I always do.

[Nikki1989]
