I consider myself to be pretty savvy about what and how to
launder garments, but I have to be perfectly honest…I did not know, nor do I,
wash new clothes before wearing them. I
always wash new sheets because they seem to have a paint-like odor when they are
removed from their packaging.
Since I never smelled anything off-putting on new clothes,
it never crossed my mind to wash them before wearing them. I’m more than a little skeeved out about
this, after watching the video below, which has informed me that I may be
wearing a lot more than just clothes.
Until your new clothes land on your body many hands have touched it during production, to say nothing of the number of people who have tried on the garment, before it lands in your possession for longer term wearing.
As you will hear, the Wall Street Journal was informed by
Donald Belsito, a dermatology professor from Columbia University, that both
some infectious diseases and lice can remain alive long enough to be passed on
through clothing! He advises that
clothing should probably be washed TWICE before wearing, to be on the safe
side.
However, the more common thing found in most clothing that
should mandate washing before wearing, are formaldehyde resins and dyes used in
clothing production. You will hear the
skin dangers discussed in an interview in the video you are about to watch.
I had to crack up at the end of the footage, where CNN’s
Anderson Cooper’s admission of washing his jeans very infrequently, gets a
surprise from Stacy London. She had secretly
had a pair of his jeans tested…the results will confirm the need to KEEP
WASHING your clothes REGULARLY!! Let’s
just say, that Anderson almost fell off his chair!
