Are you already doing this?
We like to go shopping and then immediately put on our purchases at home. We sometimes forget to put our new items in the wash first. But you better make time for that! We explain why this is so important before you enjoy your new item.
Bacteria
Some people assume that the clothes hanging in the store are clean. And that is understandable, but these garments are not always fresh and fruity. There are also items of clothing hanging there that others have tried on before you put them on. So it could be that that one nice sweater has already been customized by many others… Not such a nice thought, right? And on top of that, a piece of clothing often comes into contact with skin flakes and body fluids. Oops, not so hygienic!
It is always cooler to wash your garment before wearing it. Philip Tierno, professor at New York University, even discovered that trying on clothes leaves a lot of dirt behind. During an examination under a microscope, he discovered various bacteria and germs. Ouch! However, he does let you know that there is a small chance that it will make you ill. That should also be added…
Chemicals
The production method of the clothing also influences this. For example, many clothes are dyed, cleaned and cleaned with various chemicals. Of course, this is all done for a reason. This process ensures that molds stay away and the fabrics remain supple and soft. However, these chemicals can be toxic and sometimes even carcinogenic. Not exactly a nice thought if you ask us. This is one of the reasons to wash your clothes beforehand. The substances that can cause this are then removed. In any case, we will never forget to thoroughly wash our new outfit. Now just choose a different look for that fun party…
