a special on TV earlier showed you should wash everything you bring in your house whether to wear or use because of who handled it before it was packaged; tests were done on new packaged textiles and the amount of e-coli and fecal matter was unbelievable plus other bacteria

Relatives laughed at us when we bought a new refrigerator and washed the inside before putting food in it. Have you ever seen people open doors and sneeze inside thinking nothing of it then shut the door? We wash everything!
