I have worked at several thrift stores. The amount of donations they get makes it impossible to wash anything. Unless they bought several heavy duty washing machines and dryers and had them running non stop. And half or more of what's put out doesn't sell. So that's a huge waste of time, water, power and money. If you are too stupid to realise that second hand means its been worn and is probably not clean then you deserve what you get. Wash everything yourself AFTER you buy it. Not that hard.
and also atLeast try to Avoid purchasing Used ToothBrushes Used Toilet Tissues even Partially Used Toilet Tissue may be Kinda Bad .. Used unLaundered Heavily Soiled and SkidMarked Undies -(Bad) Used Socks .. You know Use Discretion I mean OMG FFS WTF SMH
1889 - AC deployed.... "Influenza" starts to become a yearly occurrence...AND, there was the 1889-1990 Pandemic 1918 - Radiowaves initiated.... By 1919 "Spanish flu" WW2 - Radar waves initiated, satellites in Van Allen belt, another "flu" episode 1968 - more satellites sent to Van Allen belt.... Hong Kong "flu" 2019 - 5G is initiated... 2020... 5Genocide is officially here and folks are nonetheless wiser.... The impacts of 5G/60 GHz are not widely published. Here’s what we know from big telecom company promotional material: “60 GHz has a very distinct impact on none other than oxygen itself.” Yes, articles from companies touting benefits of 5G admit 60 GHz is absorbed by oxygen as seen by this graph. Oxygen the atom is O. Oxygen the molecule is 02. Two atoms together. These two atoms form the oxygen molecule and share some electrons. 60 GHz causes electrons surrounding oxygen molecules to spin, akin to how high-powered microwaves running on 2.4 impact molecules in food such as water. They’re heating, in part, by impacting those molecules to rotate or oscillate with each wave. The movement energy from the rotation of these super tiny water molecules helps heat the rest of the food. In a similar way that 2.4 causes H20 to oscillate, 5G/60 GHz even at low power causes electrons on oxygen molecules to spin, changes to the spin frequencies on oxygen electrons impact human biology. When you breathe air into your lungs it gets oxygen into your blood, brain, tissues etc. and oxygen entering your lungs gets picked up by a very important iron containing protein called hemoglobin in your blood. The impact of oxygen molecules spinning the electrons is that it makes the hemoglobin unable to uptake the oxygen and get it to the rest of your body.

I am a thrifter and reseller and this is actually good awareness. There are some people who literally will buy clothes from the thrift store and wear them right off the rack. I recommend to you soak the clothes for a couple of hours or over night before washing for optimal cleaning. You will be surprised at how much dirt comes out from soaking. Washing after soaking is the best treatment for used clothes.
This is actually good information because as “common sense” as it sounds a vast majority of people have the belief that if they can’t see anything, nothing is there. And I know because I’ve worked years in fashion retail, I’ve seen it.
Thanks for the tips, maybe some people learned something from this video. I use diatomaceous earth to get rid of most bugs, just ask for it in your local Home Depot.
Most thrift shops do not wash clothes, bedding, hard furniture surfaces might be wiped. Many thrift stores have problems with roaches, bedbugs, mice, rats, lice, fleas and other parasites and often have to be fumigated. Shoes need to be thoroughly cleaned, washed in hot water dried in hot dryer and detergent and use a fungicide on them. Never buy furniture with cushions, pillows, never bring any item strait into your home, keep in basement or garage long enough to get it cleaned, washed and subjected to very hots temps for several days before, not your car, bedbugs can infest your car, check all seams of clothes, check every part of hard furniture. Many people that suddenly have a bedbug problem brought it home from a thrift shop or even second hand clothes online. Had a relative that worked in a thrift shop while in college and told me about this, believe me, this is not nonsense these are the facts.
It should not really have a smell.......smell it go oufffff try touching to your cheek, if prickly ,burny you probably have residue from meth drug. NEEDS TO BE TRASHED, NEVER USE OR BUY IT
I've purchased many pieces of clothing, shoes, furniture, housewares for years at thriftshops without issues. However, that doesn't mean all thrift stores have set standards for items they receive & resell. It really is up to the buyer to assess the condition of items they're interested in purchasing, to wash, clean, wipe down purchases before using them.
I have bought sketchers and Nike shoes brand new at the thrift store and what you do is you look at the soul.Then you twist the shoe to make sure the soul and the toe of the shoe is not coming off
