Is it obligatory to wash clothes and appliances that I bought seven times, one of them with earth, if I suspect that a dog touched them inside the seller's house?

Clothes do not need to be washed when there is doubt about their impurity, because the default state is purity, and doubt is not taken into consideration. What is prescribed is to base the matter on the principle of istishab (presumption of continuity).
