Wash before wear

I am learning of more and more people (my husband included) who do not wash their new clothes before wearing them. My dad had told me long ago to always wash them because of the chemicals they use to preserve the fabric (formaldehyde for one!) and because I never knew how many people (and what type of personal hygiene they had) had tried it on before I bought it. I try to get my family to do it, but am not always successful - except with Avery's and mine since there I have more control. Of course, ALL pre-owned clothes are washed before they are worn!

Anyway, I included some links for reading on the subject.

I've always thought it was a bit "silly" to wash clothes before wearing, but the last link you provided did offer some reasons for me to re-think this, especially on the kids clothes. I'll just make sure to add them to an existing load so I'm not using added resources.

So to catch you up...

Jennifer started this blog because she was going through the process of becoming more conscious of her lifestyle choices and had decided to "go green". As she talked to her friends she quickly realized that she was not the only one interested in making changes. The blog was born. We used this as a place to discuss things we've tried and to support each other in the journey.
