Do you still wash DCs new clothes...

chach916 · February 2010

prior to them wearing?

preg_amy · February 2010

Yes. And my own.

I read an article on the things that they found on new clothes and it kind of scared me.

Yes, DD has really sensitive skin so I still wash everything before she wears it.

brooketini · February 2010

Yes. I think there has only been one occasion where I didn't. I even wash the hand-me-downs my SIL gives me before DD wears them.

Usually I will but just because I'm always doing laundry so it's no biggie to just throw them in with the next load. The only time I don't is if I'm out and need to do an outfit change on her thanks to diaper leaks or spilling something on them.

Yup, no one in my house wears cloths without washing them. You just never know where the clothes have been or touched before bringing them home.

Yes.

Yes, I was thinking about stopping and then saw a clip on GMA about all of the things that are found on new clothes and how just b/c they have the tags on them doesn't mean they were never worn. It grossed me out big time.

This exactly, for the reasons listed above. Not to mention the chemicals, bugs and other nasty things they're exposed-to in the time between being made to when they hit the shelves.

and people trying them on! Although, that isn't necessarily a concern for kids clothing.

Yes I wash theirs and ours before washing.

houndbaby · February 2010

yes

Yes, unless it's a really fancy dress and I don't want to ruin it. Otherwise, I wash everything before she wears it. If she has an accident at the babysitter's, my mom's or my in-laws and they wash her clothes, I come home and wash them anyway.
