Even BEFORE the COVID-19 Virus, I ALWAYS WASHED anything that is WASHABLE! Even my Dish Towels, bath towels, etc! I NEVER USE anything straight out of the package! That includes socks, underwear, etc., I mean everything that can be WASHED!
I am so paranoid, that I always wash my fruits & veggies! Including the Onions. Garlic, before I cut into them! Just about everything we buy today comes from a FOREIGN COUNTRY! They used Chemicals that are OUTLAWED in America, better knows as QUALITY CONTROL, and one of the main reasons our Manufacturing Industry OUTSOURCED their EVERYTHING to Foreign Countries for Cheap Labor, along with using Chemicals not allowed in America!

How Long Does Coronavirus Stay on Clothes and Laundry?
By Debbie Koenig
April 5, 2020 -- Many emergency room workers remove their clothes as soon as they get home -- some before they even enter. Does that mean you should worry about COVID-19 transmission from your own clothing, towels, and other textiles?
While researchers found that the virus can remain on some surfaces for up to 72 hours, the study didn't include fabric. "So far, evidence suggests that it's harder to catch the virus from a soft surface (such as fabric) than it is from frequently touched hard surfaces like elevator buttons or door handles," wrote Lisa Maragakis, MD, senior director of infection prevention at the Johns Hopkins Health System.
There's more, but that's the gist.
There is no confirmation about how long a virus can live on different surfaces according to the reports mostly it stays for 4-7 hours you should wash the clothes with soap properly it will break the virus thats why everyone is saying to wash hands with soap or sanitizer.
No problem. Though there is conflicting information on the issue of how long the virus can live on surfaces, every authority says the virus is broken apart by soap and water.
I meant say she received the order in 3 days
