Do you have to wash new clothes before wearing them?. Up to 6,500 different chemicals are used in textile production – especially for cheap brands.

Many pollutants are first released through body sweat and then come into contact with the skin. Some seals indicate guaranteed low-pollutant clothing, such as “Öko-Tex 100’ and “Global Organic Textile Standard”. The TexCheck test mark was developed by TÜV Süd for the textile industry.
