    I’ve still heard that you should wash new clothes on their own as they might have residual colour pigment in them which could affect your other clothes. But yeah, things have changed, and for the most part I don’t care about that stuff anymore.
    Maybe it’s because we wash our clothes mostly around 40°C now and with enzymes as opposed to whatever the F they used to do.

      You should wash all new clothes BEFORE you wear them. They spray them with poison and repellent to protect them from bugs and critters during shipping from across the world.

      I always wash new things separately now, after a I bought my son a Sonic blanket. That thing covered everything in the washer and dryer with blue fuzz.
