Do you wash new clothes before wearing?

Re: Do you wash new clothes before wearing?

Always.
After that though...my wife has learned me how to get fours days out of skivvies!

Ewwwww....I could understand if you were in the desert and couldn't get to a clean pair. I also hope you at least turn them inside out at least once.

My wife washes clothes so fast I can't even get 2 days out of a pair of jeans. She washes new clothes before they every make it to the dressers.

I had a bad skin reaction to some new unwashed sheets when I was a kid. Never figured out what it was; it never happened before and it hasn?t happened since. ALWAYS wash before use!

My wife banned me from the washing machine 29 years ago so I will guess no.Maybe I should check to see if I have a washing machine

i got banned form the dishwahser for a while!!!!...........i couldnt find any dishwasher soap and thought it would be ok to use regular dish soap...........wrong-----i had soap bubbles coming out of the sides and when i opened the door it looked kinda like the tv shows--------------i mopped for 10 min before i was caught ..........i almost had it cleaned up..........except for the fact you couldnt open the door without bubbles rolling out.

I have been doing everything I can think of to get banned. Now I just leave my clothes in the dryer when they are done for days at a time. She may just get sick of me doing that soon......

My girlfriend put dishsoap in there once as a way to "clean the inside of the dishwasher" It took 3 days to finally be able to runa complete cycle without soap bubbles coming out the sides.

lol!

i tell you what you should have done (this is what i did): find something to stick into the safety switch (so you can open the door and the washer will still operate) set the dial to drain--get the sprayer from the sink (and hope it is long enough to reach)--turn on the water and knock down the bubbles while the drain sucks up the extra water

Always,I hate the stiff,starchy feel of new clothes.

Re: Do you wash new clothes before wearing?

I never wash before wearing, once you wash them they're not new anymore. When the girlfriend gets me new clothes she washes them immediately though. Besides - "new clothes are itchy?" - I thought men were supposed to have thick skin, or is that just a figurative phrase?

BTW: mthieme - that's pretty foul...but I can't say I haven't done it myself. Get in line ladies!!

LOL.
I don't that personally - too nasty. It's a standing joke in the house though.
I wash mine just because you don't know who has tried it on at the store.
I'm not a germ0phobe or anything, but I prefer the crabs out of the river.

Re: Do you wash new clothes before wearing?

If I had to wash clothes before I wore then, then why did I buy them. I already had clean clothes.

Re: Do you wash new clothes before wearing?

What all this talk about washing clothes? Is this some new fangled idea created by gen-x'ers? Sounds like a load of hooie to me.

Re: Do you wash new clothes before wearing?

I only buy new clothes when I run out of clean clothes why would I wash them?

Re: Do you wash new clothes before wearing?

My wife washes all the clothes and I think She washes new clothes in fact she'd probably wash me too if didn't take them off first.
