Trivia Question
Q: When it comes to our clothing, 6 out of 10 of us do this all the time. Experts say we should all be doing it. What is it?
A: Wash new clothes.
"All of the fabric and laundry experts I spoke with recommend—or at least strongly suggest—washing all pieces of clothing before wearing them for the first time, especially if you have any skin sensitivities or you’re shopping for babies. Handel says there are chemicals from the garment manufacturing and finishing process that could still linger on clothing and cause a reaction in someone with sensitive skin.
…these chemicals include surfactants, chemicals for bleaching, and lubricants."
