SO IMPORTANT! Especially if you have a skin condition. Many people feel that if you wash your clothing, it will fade or start to shred faster. In addition, many are misinformed that if you buy clothing from a sealed package it should be fine. Wrong! Here’s why is super important to wash your new clothing;
- New clothing contains harmful chemicals THAT CAN CAUSE RASHES AND ITCHINESS.
- Clothing is often made in different countries with different chemical laws (yes this includes things that say made in America as well)
- Clothing may contain – azo-aniline, dyes or formaldehyde
- Clothing stores – BREEDING GROUNDS for bacteria, lice and fungus.
- You never know who tried on the outfit before you and what their hygiene state was.
Although fast fashion is “in” right now where washing something a few times it falls apart, maybe you should reconsider. This might be a good time to start investing in some quality pieces of cheap ones as its a smaller prices to pay, regarding health.
