I do wash everything that iis washable before cutting it - but that was not the purpose of the this post. I
Or check to see if it has been washed. I see no purpose in rewashing an item I boughtt at a garage sale if everything else there seems fairly clean
For the record, I do want something that I have purchased as "new" to at least look " new."
I really do wonder what all the processes are - and iif we did, would we be so squeanish about a little cat hair or a bit of sticky finger residue on " new" items.
