A LITTLE EXTRA care WILL HELP YOUR UNIFORM SEE MANY MORE TOMORROWS
A big part of maintaining a sharp, professional image is keeping your uniform in tip-top shape. By following these few simple steps, you can make sure your clothes always look their best.
LOOK FOR STAINS. Look over your clothes after each use to see if there are any obvious stains. If you notice any, get things in the wash right away. The longer a stain sits, the harder it is to remove.
STICK WITH LIQUID. Whenever possible, avoid using powdered detergents when washing your uniform. Many contain corrosive chemicals that can break down fabric over time and can even cause the colors to run.
KEEP THINGS COOL. Washing your clothes in cool water gets them just as clean as using warmer water. It will also help preserve colors and avoid shrinkage.
WASH ITEMS SEPARATELY. Washing shirts along with heavier items like jeans and pants not only increases the amount of wrinkling, but it can also shorten the life of the garment. Whenever possible, wash heavier items separately. AIR IT OUT. All clothes dryers can damage fabrics over time. So whenever possible, try to use a clothesline or a drying rack instead. If a clothes dryer is a must, remove your clothes while still slightly damp to avoid shrinking.
