New clothes are not as clean as many people think. Many people have the habit of buying new clothes and wearing them right away, even wearing them straight from the store. But that is a very harmful habit.
Not washing new clothes before wearing them, unforeseen harm
Not washing new clothes can cause skin irritation: When processing fabric for clothing, manufacturers often use 2 chemical components which are azo-aniline dye and wrinkle-resistant chemicals. If you don’t wash them and wear them right away, they can cause skin irritation such as itching, redness, and flaking. For people with a history of skin diseases, this is quite dangerous, not just an allergic reaction, if the reaction is severe, it can affect the liver and kidneys.
Transmission of infectious diseases: Clothes sold in stores often contain a lot of dirt and bacteria from the surrounding environment, due to transportation and preservation. Moreover, clothes at the counter may be tried on by many people, so they will be exposed to sweat and bacteria from them. A new outfit can have many types of virus bacteria that we cannot predict. People with skin diseases can leave infectious bacteria on the clothes they touch or try on. Unfortunately, if you buy them, they can cause infectious diseases to you. With underwear, it should be washed thoroughly before wearing.
Contracting diseases due to moisture-proof packages: Moisture-proof packages are very beneficial in preserving clothes, helping them prevent moisture and mold. But they can cause allergies to the skin. Therefore, you should wash new clothes before wearing them to avoid contact of the chemicals in the moisture-proof package with the skin.
Trying on clothes outside the store, high risk
When trying on clothes outside the fashion store, you also need to be very careful to avoid problems with the clothes when trying them on. This is because clothes outside the store are tried on by many people, so they can be infected with bacteria. Moreover, clothes that have been hung for a long time will be more contaminated with dust. Therefore, when trying on clothes, it is very important to check. If the clothes have signs of dust, odor… then you should not try them on. Or when trying on, remember to wear thin inner clothes to avoid direct contact.
Because of the above reasons, when buying new clothes, you should remember to put them in their own bag, avoid putting them in your common bag. Take them home and wash them immediately, avoid leaving them in the same wardrobe or on the bed.
