Do I need to pre-wash organic cotton flannel bedding?

March 11th, 2008 at 07:37 pm



I bought this new cute sheet set and am thinking on using it today, but I am to sick to go to the laundromat. How necessary do you think it is to wash bedding (sealed in a package) before using it first time?

    Hmm... I would wash before use if your skin is at all sensitive. Sometimes the stuff they use to size/finish the cloth can be an irritant.

    Not to mention new sheets are usually scratchy....

    I guess I'll wait until tomorrow and go wash it.

    I'd sniff it and check for a scent that you can't tolerate. Not saying that its sterile, but a dry sheet in a package can't support microbial critters - you're unlikely to catch anything new with the sheets. Probably want to wash them in the next couple of days to keep yourself from re-catching what you have.

    Better to sleep in the unprewashed sheets than it would be to sleep in the sheets containing your contagion. Big Grin
