Brand new new towels, should i wash them?

Question

are you supposed to wash new towels before you use them like you do with some new clothes?

Answer 1

you have to wash them eventually...i dont see the harm in doing it either way

Answer 2

I always wash whatever it is before I use it.

Answer 3

I would definitely wash them first. Some towels, not all, but some actually bleed when they get wet and you don't want to be drying off and turning colors lol. But mostly you want to wash them to remove all the fuzz particles that they have on them the first time you use them. It isn't totally necessary just personal preference.

Answer 4

Yes because otherwise when you use them the the fluffy stuff, will come off on you. Just make sure to wash them gently you don't want to ruin them!!!!!

Answer 5

YES!

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

Yes... fuzz city if you don't.

Answer 8

you don't have to. But if you don't they will leave fuzzy stuff all over while you dry off with them. I'm assuming bath towels. For all towels they will dry better and soften up if you wash and dry them first.

Answer 9

Always wash any new clothing, towels and the like before using.

Answer 10

of course;just don't use fabric softener I hear it stops towels from being

absorbent

Answer 11

yes they have bad chemicals on them wash b4 use

Answer 12

I would - it will get them nice and soft and get rid of anything that might have gotten on them during packaging and/or shipping and then handling in the store - so I definitely would!! :)

Answer 13

Yes, you do.

Answer 14

yes...their drying capacity is better after their first wash...& they feel nicer on your skin.

Answer 15

Yes, to get the production chemicals, fuzziess, and grossness from people touching them in the store off of them. Just make sure to air-dry them, they're less absorbent if you put them in the dryer.
