Washing New Clothes: Why You Should Do It Before Wearing Them?
Time magazine warns that not washing clothes before wearing them can lead to a rash. According to Dr. Susan Niedorost, professor of dermatology at Case Western Reserve University and director of the Dermatitis Program at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, allergic contact dermatitis is an immune response to allergens that come into contact with the skin. In many cases, this reaction is due to the dispersion of dyes in clothing.
These dyes are primarily used in synthetic clothing, such as polyester and nylon, and may therefore be present at higher levels in new, unwashed clothing. Washing new clothing on a hot cycle for at least 25 minutes can help remove these residues, provided the care label allows it.
New clothes can cause allergies and diseases.
An alternative version of the text can be read as follows:
“Newly purchased clothing can contain other potential problems in addition to dyes and chemicals. Other customers may have tried on the clothing before you – either in the store or at home. They may also have been treated by employees in factories, warehouses or retail stores.
If someone touches the clothing, they can transfer pathogens like staph, norovirus, and even feces, explains Dr. Philip Tierno, professor of microbiology and pathology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. self“People leave microorganisms on everything they touch, whether it's a tabletop or clothing.”
This of course varies depending on the garment. Unlike underwear or swimwear, fewer bacteria are likely to be found on winter jackets because they do not come into direct contact with intimate parts of the body. It is advisable to always wash underwear, bikinis and swimwear before wearing them to avoid hygiene problems.
Pre-wash clothes for hygiene reasons.
If you prefer to buy your clothes in the store, for hygiene reasons it is advisable to wash the clothes you buy before wearing them. After all, the desired piece has been tried on by at least one other person and is therefore no longer 100% new and clean. For this reason, you should also put the clothes you buy in the washing machine before wearing them. This means that the skin flakes and sweat residues of other people are completely removed and your new clothes shine 100% fresh and clean again.
