Just wondering -
How many hands have touched "new" fabrics that are/were still on bolts? Where have the fabrics been before they end up in the final buyer's shopping bag?
Many of us talk about the joy of touching/petting/caressing fabrics while shopping.
Wonder how many of us just may have had a cold or touched something unsanitary (like a door handle or money) before touching the fabrics?
I really don't know if fabric "retains" bacteria and/or viruses -
but why do some people seem to assume that if a fabric is purchased "used" it needs to be washed - and if it is purchased "new" - it does not need to be washed?
