What do you think the laundromat will take out of them that your home washer/dryer wouldn’t?

Why would you want whatever was "taken out" of them to be put into your home washer?

Because it’s pretty much a myth.

PSA: you are supposed to put it through the dryer or put in a freezer for a few days first. It’s the extreme temperature that kills the tiny creatures, not the water.

Science is a myth huh? Typical.

And wasn't talking about just parasites and organic contaminants. But YDY.

I don’t think you know what science is. NP

You obviously don't know what chemicals are, and from studies a large portion of thrift store clothing tests positive for many hazardous chemicals due to meth labs, crack cooking, fentanyl dealers, etc. Enjoy!

Oh good lord. Most clothing is donated by people who have the time and energy and the sense of civic responsibility to take it to a thrift store instead of tossing it in the trash.
It is very unlikely to have lice or bed bugs or any other type of contamination.
Some people need to have their anxiety treated.

Just keep them in a plastic bag and then wash and run through the dryer when you get home. Same thing.

And what makes you think you got something great from the secondhand thrift store but because you brought it to the laundromat, you got some organism from the laundromat instead. Have you seen what people put in those things. I have seen people washing their own rugs at home and bringing it to the laundromat to dry. Or brought filthy things to wash in those machines and stuffed them
To the brim. I am sure it wouldn’t even have a clean wash and you could be the next customer….

I think I trust my own machines and my own laundry tub….

For general use yeah. But you obviously don't understand what's being discussed. See the PP info.

My DD is 16 and has been buying 80% of her clothes in thrift stores since she was 13. Obviously I took her in the beginning, but now her favorite thing to do with her 10th grade friends is to get on buses and go around the greater DC area and go to all kinds of thrift stores. She is also constantly complimented on her clothes, both at school and when we're out and about.

So yeah, I highly recommend it. Some stores are definitely better than others, so you'd have to go to a bunch and see which places seem to have the best types of clothes that your teen likes.
