We always die to wear new clothes as soon as we buy them, but we wonder why our mother always insists to wash them first before wearing them. Yes, while it is incredibly boring to do so, it is really necessary as God only knows the conditions in which the storekeeper has stored the clothes. But now after reading this you will not find it so boring and will definitely wash it without fail.
It is found that wearing brand new clothes can make you sick, as they may be contaminated with lots of fecal germs, viruses, mites, or vaginal yeast that can cause infections. It was found in the laboratory testing that some of the new clothes contained bacteria that were alive and wavering. The bacteria were strong enough to transmit the infection to the person wearing it or touching it. Mostly, the area like armpits, groin and other parts of the body which comes in direct contact with the skin seemed to be infected.
All the people do not adhere strictly to personal hygiene and as many people have first tried the clothes prior to you, an easy infection can happen.
It is also very important to store the clothes properly as woven clothes may also contain germs and if not stored in proper conditions in the warehouse, they get contaminated with germs and bacteria.
It does not mean that you have purchased your clothes from big and fancy stores, so there are no chances of their contamination; you never know the conditions in which it was stored.
Germs can also spread through the brand new shoes, as so many people have tried them before you, so always try new shoes with your socks and check them to sanitize after buying them before wearing them.
You can protect yourself from these infections by wearing proper undergarments before trying any new clothes and washing your hands thoroughly after shopping.
