do you wash new bedsheets before using them? (smells, dryer, standard)

[nickerman]

Just wondering if it is a standard procedure to do that.

[Vectoris]

Yes! I think they have a weird smell to them when they come out of the package. Otherwise I wouldn't bother, but I am funny with smells (I dont eat at subway because their napkins smell strange)...

[TheotherMarie]

YES. OMG YES.

I also wash any and all new clothes before wearing them, too.

[pikabike]

Yes. There might be chemicals used in making the fabric that some people's skin gets irritated by. Goes for both sheets and clothing.

[stan4]

Uh, yeah.

[elnina]

Of course! Anything that has direct contact with my skin is washed before use.

[wit-nit]

Yes, who knows what may have been imported.

[Tallysmom]

Yep. Sizing in the fabric makes me itchy.

Yes, me too. Anything that comes in contact with my body gets washed and dried in the dryer (or sun, if dryer is not recommended)
