When you buy the clothes, will you wash them before wearing them? A recent survey showed that among the 11,266 people who participated in the survey, only 22.8% of people would wash new clothes after they were bought. Among them, nearly 61% said they could wash their close-fitting clothes, and 8.24% said they would not wash any clothes.

In response to this phenomenon, experts said that because close-fitting clothes come into contact with the skin directly, they cannot be put on their body immediately after buying them, and should be cleaned with clean water and a small amount of detergent. Now many people have this health awareness. However, other new clothes should also be cleaned as much as possible, because the clothes will inevitably be covered with dust or other substances during the production and sales process. Therefore, it is still necessary to clean them in time in order to maintain your health.

The survey found that some people believe that new clothes are not dirty. About 15% of people hold this view, nearly 40% are afraid that new clothes will fade or shrink or deform, and 21% say they are afraid of trouble. Yang Shuxia said that there may be reasons for laziness and some health blind spots. New clothes should be washed before wearing them, which is a healthy and hygienic living habit.

When choosing why to clean new clothes, 61% of people think that new clothes may not be clean, nearly 1/4 of people think that some clothes may contain formaldehyde, and cleaning can reduce their concentration, and only 7% of people are out of habit. Yang Shuxia said that formaldehyde is a volatile substance with good water solubility. Cleaning can remove most of the formaldehyde remaining in clothes and reduce its harm to the human body.

The survey found that 10% of people had mild skin allergies. Yang Shuxia introduced that although there are absolutely not many cases of skin allergies caused by wearing new clothes, we should still pay attention to it. Especially as summer approaches, some people may be allergic to certain dyes. After sweating, the dye contacts with the skin will cause discomfort reactions. Therefore, it should be cleaned before wearing.
