By following a few simple care tips, you can ensure that our shared commitment to excellence shines through every time you step out on the job. > SPOT THE STAINS Sure, stains are part of the territory. But that doesn’t mean they need to stick around. Check your clothes for stains after each use. If you notice any, get the garment in the wash right away. The longer a stain sits, the harder it is to remove. > SWITCH TO LIQUID While powdered detergents may be convenient, they often contain harsh chemicals that can break down fabric and fade colors. Stick to liquid detergents to keep your uniform looking sharp and lasting longer. > WASH COOL Cold water helps preserve colors and minimize shrinkage. It also gets clothes just as clean as warmer water. That’s why you should always opt for cold water when washing your uniform.
> SEPARATE WITH CARE Tossing shirts into the wash with heavy items like jeans or pants can increase wear and tear, not to mention wrinkles. Wash heavier items separately whenever possible. > AIR IS YOUR ALLY Commercial dryers can damage fabric over time. When you can, air- dry your uniform on a clothesline or drying rack. If you must use a dryer, remove items while they’re slightly damp to avoid shrinking. > TURN IT INSIDE OUT Turning garments inside out before washing helps prevent fading and protects embroidered or printed designs from unnecessary wear.
