As long as a note is attached to the item when it's posted, I think it would be up to the buyer to do whatever.

There are some that do not like to work with washed fabrics. "Bought at a yard sale, decided I didn't want it. I have not washed it." Who knows if the original owner washed it, kwim? |
I would absolutely wash it. There has been such a rash of bed bug outbreaks...

That...and did you see my maggot thread of a bunch of maggots hatching in fabric I bought from an estate sale?? WASH IT!! |
I always wash the fabric ASAP.

WOW, all these posts certainly make my decision easier!! NOT!! LOL
I guess the "bedbug" thing is what worries me. I was recently at the convention center/hotel in our capital city...the only one that can be used for large gatherings. I didn't stay overnight at the hotel but my friend did and she found a bedbug in her bed. YUCK!!!!! She reported it to the manager and they "offered her a free breakfast"! The event director also told the hotel when she was settling the event charges and all they wanted to know was the room no.!!! It's sad! |
If you do not have any idea where the fabric has been, then I think that answers the question...wash it.

WASH IT!! I would recommend washing it too. |
I always wash fabric from garage sales and thrift stores to make sure we don't get a bug infestation.

What if one just ironed/pressed it slowly with lots of steam and the iron set on "cotton"?
After doing a shake out of the fabrics outside, of course. |
