I wash it brand new from the store, clean from a Thrift store. I want everything totally clean and I don't know where brand new clothes come from and what kind of bugs grow there, wherever! That is one of the only things I am totally paranoid about.
Funny, but when my husband and I bought a "new" car, I had to wash every bit of it, including the seats, (upholstery), carpeting, the trunk, the steering wheel, window winder-uppers, and after the upholstery and floors dried, I sprayed it with a disinfectant. Then and only then was it our car. Is that considered anal???????? Edie
PS - never got sick from a newly purchased car or store bought clothes. I wash my quilts when I am done making them also.
