Your Uniform is your pride. It is a symbol of unity, team spirit and reflects your brand. To take good care of your workwear to stay strong and shine, following guidelines are recommended:
- Read the care label: Before washing any garment, always check the care label for specific instructions on how to care for the fabric. The label may have symbols or written instructions that indicate whether the garment should be hand-washed or machine-washed, the temperature and cycle to use, and whether it can be ironed or tumble dried.
- Sort your laundry: To prevent damage to your clothing and ensure they get clean, sort your laundry by color and fabric type. Separate whites from colors, and wash delicate fabrics separately from heavier ones.
- Use the right detergent: Choose a detergent that is appropriate for the fabric and washing method. Use a mild detergent for delicate fabrics and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, which can damage some fabrics.
- Wash in cold water: Unless otherwise instructed, wash most clothing items in cold water to avoid shrinking, fading, or damaging the fabric. Hot water should only be used for white cotton or linen garments that need extra cleaning power.
- Use gentle cycle: When machine-washing your clothes, use a gentle cycle to avoid damaging the fabric. For delicate items like silk or lace, consider using a lingerie bag to protect them.
- Hang dry or tumble dry: Some clothing items can be hung to dry, while others can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. Check the care label to see which method is recommended.
- Iron carefully: If ironing is necessary, use the appropriate heat setting for the fabric. Use a pressing cloth to protect delicate fabrics like silk or wool from direct heat.
By following these general guidelines and checking the care label for specific instructions, you can ensure that your clothing stays in great condition and lasts for as long as possible.
