Is it compulsory to wash newly bought clothes before you wear them?
I always do. I bought a couch cover for my leather couch, it was shipped from china. I put it on the couch and after a day or two my back broke out with a itchy rashes, I had to put rubbing alcohol on my back for a week before it went away. They had sprayed it with a chemical to protect it from dust and other stuff. I washed it and dryed it and now it is fine. So now every time I get any clothes or linens I wash them first in hot water with detergent and now no more rash. Coats and other none washable clothes I send to the dry cleaners.
Yes, you need to wash your clothes before wearing them because if you wear them maybe you feel some irritation and uncomfortable. This is the main reason people wash their new clothes before wearing them. When you go to the mall and buy a dress, you know very well that many of the people try It before that’s why it is the best option to wash your clothes before wear. While packaging the dresses when you buy from an online website, they possibly give some unexpected chemical to make the dress dry and it could irritate your skin if you wear it directly without washing. In many warehouses, the store manager kept the return items and new items after they buying them from others. So, it is possible that dirt, dust, and even bugs will be on the items.
