New Clothes: Unwashed Dangers! Why You Must Wash Before Wearing

• Wearing new clothes without washing can expose skin to harmful substances and increase infection/allergy risks.
• Formaldehyde resins, used for wrinkle-free shipping, can cause itching, rashes, or contact dermatitis.
• Germs, bacteria, fungi, and viruses from previous try-ons can linger on fabric, leading to skin infections.
• Excess dye in dark clothes, jeans, and silk can transfer to skin or furniture, causing irritation.
• Washing softens fabric, improves fit, and makes new clothes safer and more comfortable; always check care labels.
