Donating Clothing To Charity Shops

[pastafreak]

Do I need to wash them beforehand?
I have 6 to 8 bags, mostly mine but some are my daughter's. They've been stored away in the spare room for 5 or more years, and were ...to the best of my knowledge...all clean when packed in carrier bags.

If they were laundered before storage I wouldn't bother, especially with such a large amount.

I agree with Mamy

I think yours will be fine. I’ve read of charity shops receiving jeans with used sanitary towels stuck in them. Mmm, thanks!

OMG, that's horrific!

When I was volunteering at Barnardo's, all the clothes were steamed before being put on the rails in the shop. Any soiled or dirty clothes went straight in the rag bag.
