Did you see the news item re: formaldehyde in VS clothing. It is prevalent in non-wrinkle clothes and VS bras. Be sure to wash all new items girls before you wear them.

Actually almost all cloths are treated like this. This is why you should always wash before wear.

It will irritate the skin and can cause a rash.

The formaldehyde keeps the cloths looking new and prevents fading and looking tired on the rack to include wrinkles.

Ever notice new clothes have that smell? Thats it [-X

tetre chloro ethylene used in dry cleaning can also affect the skin. Wash & wear is still safe

Good to Know

This is good to know, although I never had trouble in the past. Just a lucky girl in this respect at least. What does a girl do with dry clean only clothes ?

Kim they make a dry clean system that works in the drier. It works good to freshen clothes up. Check it out in the laundry isle.
