If you said B however, I think you better re-think about how &#8216;fresh&#8217; your new clothes really are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#808080;\">Many of us think that it&#8217;s okay to wear newly bought clothes straight away without washing because it&#8217;s already &#8216;clean&#8217;. Truth is, new clothes are dirtier than they seem. They&#8217;re full of chemicals and likely germs, so you NEED to wash your new clothes before wearing them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#808080;\">Here are the reasons why:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#00ccff;\">\u00a0Exposed to harmful chemicals<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color:#00ccff;\"><span style=\"color:#808080;\">During the production process of your clothes, most synthetic fabrics are dyed with\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color:#808080;\">azo-aniline dyes, and a preservative <\/span><span style=\"color:#808080;\">chemical gas called Formaldehyde resin is used on the clothes to prevent wrinkles and mildew from developing. These chemicals<\/span><span style=\"color:#808080;\">\u00a0are not particularly skin friendly and can cause severe skin irritations and reactions, especially to those who may be allergic to them. The reaction will create rashes which are liken to that caused by poison ivy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4><span style=\"color:#00ccff;\">Transferable germs<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color:#00ccff;\"><span style=\"color:#808080;\">It is often that you find people trying on clothes in the store because what better way to decide to buy it than to see how it looks on you?! The problem with that is, you don&#8217;t know how many people have tried on the item of clothing you bought, let alone how unsanitary those people may be. Just think about the possible &#8216;invisible&#8217; bacteria that may have been transferred onto the garment from multiple people. Also, other bacteria such as fungus and even head lice may be transferred onto the garment\/s on too.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#00ccff;\">Final thoughts&#8230;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#808080;\">Though these issues may not be as alarming as you might have thought them to be, it&#8217;s best to stay on the safe side and ALWAYS wash your newly bought clothes before you wear them. Keep up with good hygiene and keep your skin safe from unwanted chemicals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#808080;\">If the thought of laundry is the reason you&#8217;d rather not wash your clothes, then schedule a <a href=\"http:\/\/laundryheap.co.uk\">laundry &amp; dry cleaning collection<\/a> with us today and we&#8217;ll get that sorted for you for tomorrow!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: You just bought fresh, new clothes and you&#8217;re super excited to wear them out!
