I know chemicals are using in the processing of fabric partly because they have a slight odor. Is this harmful in any way?

Well I normally wash them before ,but have used them before washing them ,if you iron them before you put them on your bed you will kill of any chemical´s and the smell at the same time

I always wash my things before wearing. Sometimes the dye will come off on your skin. Think what chemicals could be transferred to you or your love ones.Your clothes,bedding etc. smell much cleaner and fresher also after laundering.Good luck with your laundry. Have a nice day!

Yes, it irriates your skin, even fabric manufacturers say to wash all new fabrics when you get them home. Also the sprays make them "crunchy". Its in part starch so that the fabric is slightly easier to work with, in part a "shine guard" to keep it looking new, and in part a stain resister. Its not designed to be skin safe.

I don't think it's harmful. But, why take the chance? I wash all clothing, bedding and towels before we use them.

formaldahyde is used in new clothing for sizing. I don't think it is harmful, but does have an unpleasant odor.

you should always wash them before using/wearing. you never know what kind of condition the factory is in that they came from.
