Same here. I've been in textile and clothing manufacturing plants. There's no way in hell any piece clothing, sheets, towels, whatever, gets worn or used by me before it gets washed.

My wife is Mrs. Super Laundry Woman.com She washes everything before it's worn, used, abused, eaten, slept on, etc. She has some fabric softner mixture that makes the sheets so soft we don't need to use blankets 🙂

Fabric softener makes the sheets warmer?
😕

it's a special blend.

A special blend that adds thickness and warmth? 😕

Oh Aikouka, you so bad!

Worst case you'll build your immune system.

Don't you mean "best case"?

I'd say worst case would be a ghastly skin disease.

That would build immunities. Remember, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger

Thus, the worst case would be death :Q
