I never do, but I was wondering if some people do

I ALWAYS do.

I couldn't imagine wearing something straight from the store after who knows wh has tried them on already! :o

I agree with that.

It's always good to wash new clothes when you buy them just to be on the safe side

Yeah, I always put new clothes into the wash first. You never know where they've been, or who's tried them on at the store.

Good question.

For "new" (not used, storebought) clothes, I never did before, but the replies here have made me want to now! ;)

I always wash used clothes I get at the thrift store, though!

No, I don't.  I hate trying on clothes in the store, so I almost never do.  My philosophy is that once I get home, if I take the tags off and wash them, it will be more difficult to return them if they don't fit.

The problem with my philosophy though, is that even when something doesn't fit, I'm usually too lazy to take it back anyway.  It usually sits in my closet for months and eventually ends up in the goodwill pile.

I never wash them for the same reason. If it  shrinks , then yo can't return them. But , knowing someone else might have tried them on as well. I should wash them first  :-\\

Well...beings that most of my clothes are purchased at thrift shops....I always wash them before wearing them.





Erin :)

As do I. :)

never  :)

no, but if it's from a vintage or thrift shop, I do!

My undies and socks. Sometimes jeans if they feel too rough.

Almost always, unless like Kim said, it's a jacket or  something I need right then.  :)

Hardly ever

I don't either. I tend to find that the first wear is usually as good as it gets for me.  ;D

I only wash them to get rid of the smell and newness of the clothing. They actually do recommend on some clothing that you wash once before wearing.

If it is an item that I know has never been tried on I won't wash it first but otherwise yes, I will wash the item before I wear it.

I rarely do that

Undies ALWAYS  :P

to make them smell nice? ;D :P

I don't...  :P

Just in case someone has tried them on  :o :P

Always. My mom has this thing, and it rubbed off on me, I guess.. it just seems so dirty not to.

Just because I don't shower every week like you do doesn't make me less of a person, in fact, I think the strong odor makes me more of a man.

Damn you, Apricot!  I'm going down to the city dump today so I can roll in the stinking garbage and prove myself.

Put your dirty laundry away.  ;D

With new clothing, I don't even though I know I should. However, if I pick stuff up at the clothing drive (used clothing), I wash it ALL before wearing it.




Cat

Why is it that we wash the used clothes but not the new ones? When I go to the Goodwill I always wash the clothes when I get them home... even though I already know that they have been washed by the Goodwill because each piece has the exact same smell of fabric softener and dryer sheets. We are a weird bunch! :D ;D

Actually, they are keeping me entertained  ;D ;D ;D

That was an attempt at a joke.  ;D

you mean someone has tried them on?
Was it a guy by any chance? ;D

Yes because I sometimes have a reaction to new clothes.  Horrible rashes so I wash them to get rid of residues.

Nope.

Oh, what, YOU WANT SOME OF THIS? 


Your mom!  >:(

I ALWAYS do.

Yes I do also because it makes it softer a little....... I dont like stiff/uncomfy clothes..

Ok, I'll admit it. Lately I haven't washed certain "new" clothes before wearing them the first time.

Yes, it has to done, especially these days.

This is what I said in 2005.

Today, I wash EVERYTHING! Part of it could be that doing laundry today is easier for me than it was in 2005. Why? We were living in our old house and the laundry was in the basement while the office was on the second floor. I had to climb two flights of stairs to change the load.

Now, the laundry room is in the next room from where I am sitting now (and is across the hall from the bedroom). No more climbing two flights of stair and lugging clothes up and down. The only laundry I have to bring up and down the stairs are towels from the downstairs bathroom and the kitchen or sheets/blankets if we have guests staying in the library or front room.  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this house?

For the last 2½ years we have been washing clothing after been on public transport, in case of viral droplets caught on our wear.
