Or will this be an item I give away?”
Here are 8 items you should never buy secondhand to keep your home happy and healthy.
Mattresses & Bedding
Morse says a mattress is definitely something she would neverbuy secondhand.
“First, someone else has slept on it and made body indentations that can be uncomfortable for you.
The same applies to bedding, regardless of washing it.
Mattresses and bedding are always better bought brand new since it’s the cleanest and safest.
Baby Cribs
Expecting a little one?
Don’t even think about trying them on!
Helmets and hats can be carriers for lice or other bacteria that’s better left never picking up.
“Black Friday is the best time to shop for appliances.
Typically, Black Friday extends for several weeks in today’s world and lasts longer than one day.
Instead, treat yourself to inexpensive newer pieces that are up-to-date with the current health standards.
Lamps
Lamps are 50/50 when it comes to buying secondhand.
You don’t want to plug them in and start a fire.”
