Spot, you're weird. :yh_bigsmi

I wash EVERYTHING before I use it. God only knows who tried on that pair of jeans or shirt I just bought? Who knows how many little kids, picking their noses have run their fingers all over the grapes sitting out there?

Yeah, I wash everything.

I haven't had a bath in years! Do you think it's time?

Take care,

That's plain paranoid. Sterile wraps have to be good for something or why would they use them in the first place?

No ...I don't wash clothes

No ...I don't wash much of the food I buy because it's pre wrapped

I don't wash clothes, like Nomad I chose items from the back of the pile that don't appear to have been tried on.

Cutlery and crockery I wash.

I wash new toothbrushes.

And I wash new towels coz it makes them fluffy :-6

There used to be a product, it was like alka seltzer, fizzy tabs that sanitized your toothbrush, I cant find it now, if anyone knows of a store that carries it I sure would love to know.

I don't wash clothes usually. I do for my littlest child, who is 8 months old (but for obvious reasons), but not for the rest of us.

I do wash fruit and vegetables.

It never occurred to me to wash meat or fish! Having said that, I never have bought from a butcher or market, so that's probably why. I'm not sure I would have thought of it then. Weird that that never occurred to me. :-2

Ooooh, Nomad, I think I know where I can find some of that stuff. If I do, I will send it to you. (Going out errand running tonight anyway.)

That's about it, though... I'm pretty bad about buying fresh veggies, I just buy the frozen stuff. And I figure if I cook the meat enough, anything on there should be dead by the time I eat it.

I haven't got any leather jackets etc. but i love the smell of leather....mmmmm I go in the leather shops just to have a 'sniff'

Have to say yes to washing most things before you use them, especially food (Botulism) is a particularly nasty thing which you can catch from dirty veg.
