Thrifted clothing purchased at second-hand stores, thrift shops, or garage sales can offer amazing bargains. However, it is important to clean each clothing item before you wear it. Since most of the items you find in second-hand stores and rummage sales have been worn, it's a good idea to sanitize them to reduce exposure to bacteria, fungus, and harmful insects that might tag along. And with thrifted clothes that are brand-new, washing before wearing can help wash out excess dyes and other chemical treatments, which can cause a variety of skin irritations and allergic reactions.

Cotton fabric is made from natural plant fibers and is widely used in clothes, table linens, bedding, and everything from delicate baby onesies to denim blue jeans. Cotton items can be easily washed in the washing machine or by hand though you have kept water temperatures lower to reduce fading in colored items. Though clothing needs washing after it's worn every few times, frequent washing and drying at higher temperatures can cause some shrinkage and wrinkling.
