There was a hot topic on the Internet: Why do women buy new clothes every year?
There is a highly praised answer below: every year? Clearly it is every month, every week, every day… … …
All the diseases may have been cured, but the problem also arises:
Can’t wait to cut off the sign and put on new clothes, or can you endure it… must wash it before wearing it?
Is dye harmful?
Many people must have changed the magic: the clothes were still white before they were thrown into the washing machine, but when they were taken out…
In fact, according to the current technology, it is not so difficult for our clothes to rinse and not fade. In particular, some reactive dyes can react with fabrics and are difficult to fall off.
Almost all faded clothes can be considered as quality problems.
However, some clothes cannot be washed with water but can only be dry cleaned. If the color is washed off, it cannot be entirely attributed to the poor quality of the clothes. Don’t listen to what [all new clothes are like this].
Fading clothes are not suitable for wearing, especially for sticking to them. The new ones should be washed as much as possible before wearing them, which is regarded as a good test.
A friend said that after wearing new clothes, he felt uncomfortable and tested the allergen. As a result, he suspected that he might be allergic to dye.
There is indeed a possibility of allergy, but it is similar to the probability of winning the lottery.
For example, disperse yellow 3, disperse blue 35, disperse black 1, etc. are all known strong sensitizing dyes. Some dyes may also lead to skin diseases such as urticaria or rash.
Of course, [allergy] is not just a matter of whether to wash or not. After washing, you will still be allergic. The only way is to avoid and try to wear white cotton or chemical fiber clothes.
Is it harmful if the clothes smell?
Many people will think that the new clothes will have some [taste], which is mainly the residual processing aids on the new clothes, and they are not harmful to the body. Or…
Rest assured that hazardous substances will not be allowed to be used in clothing.
Among the various additives, what you are familiar with may be formaldehyde. It is formaldehyde that comes to mind [carcinogenic] and worries when it comes to decoration and furniture. It does have residual problems in new clothes.
For example, last year the Shanghai Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau announced that nine batches of formaldehyde-exceeding products were detected in 2015 for clothing of a first-line luxury brand.
Where does formaldehyde come from? Does exceeding the standard cause cancer?
Formaldehyde exceeding the standard does make people feel uncomfortable. However, it is not to say that if new clothes are worn without washing, they will definitely cause cancer.
When clothes are processed, one-step [anti-wrinkle] finishing is often required to ensure that the clothes delivered to consumers have a higher color value.
For example, the classic anti-crease finishing agent is called N-hydroxymethylamide, which can react with fibers and the formaldehyde produced from it will remain on textiles. This is the main reason why formaldehyde in some clothes exceeds the standard.
Fortunately, formaldehyde is very [lively]. It is not lively and easy to get along with, but it is not very able to stay. Formaldehyde is very soluble in water, so after soaking and washing, you don’t have to worry about it.
When new clothes are dried for a period of time, formaldehyde is basically emitted or decomposed.
If you are really not at ease, it is better to wash clothes that can be washed before wearing them.
There is another question… I heard…
Will new clothes have parasites (eggs)?
Bacteria and parasites (eggs) will be found in new clothes, which is inevitable in the process of processing, transportation and storage.
There are some reasons, but the possibility of them exceeding the standard is very small.
Therefore, after buying new clothes, washing them with fungicides and detergents can avoid microbial infection to the greatest extent.
Well, the conclusion is relatively simple:
If you really wear new clothes bought through regular channels without washing, the problem is not big either, but it is more recommended to wash them for peace of mind.
I have to ask what kind of new clothes can be washed without washing. It should be the emperor’s new clothes.
