To protect the print on your garments, always turn your workwear inside out before washing. This simple step helps reduce friction during the wash cycle. Use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
Stick to a gentle cycle when washing your workwear. If your gear has stubborn stains, pre-treat them with a gentle stain remover or soap, rather than opting for heavy-duty machine settings.
The heat from a tumble dryer can harm printed designs. Whenever possible, air dry your garments in the shade and hang them up in a cool, dry place out of direct light.
When your gear’s not in use, store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding printed areas on themselves to reduce stress on the design. Hanging your garments can also help maintain their shape and presentation.
Even with the best maintenance routine, workwear doesn’t last forever – especially in high-impact industries. Watch for signs of excessive wear and tear and refresh your team’s gear as needed to maintain a polished, professional image.
