Pesticides, Hebicides, Chemicals and washing new clothing Deanna

[Guest guest]

This is why it's extremely important to wash clothing before you wear

it. The dyes and the pesticides used on the cotton crops could have

very dangerous chemicals used on them. The other countries have very

different laws if any.

-Mo,

You are so right about washing new clothing. I use detergent made for

baby wash and then I put a half cup of white vinegar in the rinse

water. Actually I use the vinegar when I was all my clothes to remove

as much detergent as possible. I also line dry as often as I can.
