You asked yourself a question, we answer yes. Explanations about the importance of putting new clothes in the washing machine to avoid any irritation.
If you want to wear the new clothes you just bought today, it’s better not to. The new clothes bear traces of various chemicals: nickel, chromium 6 and other less encouraging names. The National Agency for Health Security (ANSES) asked the same question as us and studied these materials present on new clothes and shoes. Result: about twenty of these products have been found.
What is the negative effect on the body?
Rest assured, nothing too serious will happen to you if you can’t wait. On the other hand, these chemicals have a reputation for causing skin irritation. Itching, spots or even red spots. Certain products, such as Nonylphenols, are also suspected endocrine disruptors. All these materials are not in vain, they are used for storage, preservation and even transportation of goods, but it is recommended to get rid of them. Don’t forget… germs and bacteria. In the store or in the package, we never know who or what touches our clothes before they touch our skin.
What to do to get rid of it?
A solution to get rid of these substances, as fast as radical: washing. A machine is enough to eliminate them. The new piece in your wardrobe will smell great and won’t leave bad memories on your skin.
