What & Why

Clean clothes are clothes that don't have dirt, food spills, or yucky smells on them. We wear clean clothes to keep our skin healthy and wash away germs that can make us feel itchy or sick. When you feel clean and fresh, you feel more comfortable and ready to have fun! After we wear our clothes, they go into a special place, like a laundry hamper, to wait to be washed.
