New items of clothing ! Do you wash before wearing?

I forgot to say all new items I hand up on hanger on the washing line to get airing first

Yes. My daughter works in the industry and says everyone would be keen to wash them if they saw the storage/making-up process and what happens along the line.

Nope.

Just bought a pair of summer trousers in Sainsbury’s and popped them on a hanger ...

No, I don't wash anything before I wear it (I don't believe in making work for myself)

Nope. Too lazy, and I can say its better for the planet. And my water bill.

No.

It's not lazy Urmstongran... life's just too short!

... I quite like Sainsbury's clothing range. I did once wash a sweater I bought from there because I saw the sales lady pick it up off the floor before putting it back on the hanger, and it was the only one of its kind left. Unfortunately, it was one of those tunic-type sweaters made of cotton which looks and feels like wool... and I hung it on a hanger fairly damp and it stretched so much, it became a dress .

It depends! On what it is/where its worn (!) and from where I bought it.....

That made me laugh Dickens!

I often think about the joke the comedian John Bishop made years ago. Apparently his sons told him he should never buy clothes from a shop which also sells sprouts ...
?

Never.
It's never occurred to me.

Always - you don’t know who tried it on beforehand….

No I never do. I just hang them up or pop in a drawer. I’ve honestly never thought to.

No, never had and won't start now.

No, not unless it is soiled, I've got more respect for the planet and my energy and water bills to be fussed about washing new clothes.

Always.

No never thought it would be necessary Why would you ??
Never caught anything from clothes in my long life ???

No, I don't. Living dangerously!

It depends. I bought linen trousers the other day and wore them straight away but the shirt I bought at the same time had a chemically smell and so went in the wash.

Yes I wash new clothes before I wear them. I'm having a real struggle to control my eczema at the moment so I need to know there's no starch or finishing product on the garments.

No, why would you??

Nope. Never have and I'm still alive after 70+ years...

Brand new clothing - no, but if I got something secondhand then I’d definitely wash it before wearing it.

Yes I do I think someone might have handled the clothes with dirty hands. You can clearly see that something has been tried on as there are streaks of makeup.

Yes I always wash mine, watched a show on BBC and apparently there are all sorts of chemical nasties on new clothes from the manufacturing which you need to wash . No thanks.
