It may seem a stupid question, but the reason is we are suffering with a flea infestation and some have got into my clothes. So instead of washing them in the highest possible temperature (which would damage them), I will freeze them for some days. BUT, I worry about the clothes with plastic print, will this make it peel off or get damaged?
If you have experience or knowledge, please help! : ) |

I used to do that in June 2020 when we had no idea what we were in for during the pandemic. I’d put the new clothes I ordered in the freezer overnight. I had hoodies with printed stuff on it and they were fine.
I’m not sure if it worked but it made my anxiety better. My mom puts tablecloths in plastic bags and then freezes them until the holidays. I don’t know why she does that though. __________________ Ridin' with Biden |

Thanks, your opinion is invaluable and I feel much better freezing stuff now. : ) I thought logically they should be fine but you never know, clothes can be sensitive. I still don't understand why you froze your hoodies though? Haha. |

I was just worried about Covid and what may be on them. They were new and had just arrived and that was before we knew how Corona was transmitted. They still at that point thought you could get it from things for up to 72 hours. I was just being extra cautious. Better safe then sorry.
