REPAIR OR RECYCLE
Even the-best-cared-for uniforms will someday come to the end of the road. Learn to recognize the signs that it’s time to part ways.
STAINED COLLAR Try pretreating the collar with shampoo. Keep it from happening again by wearing it only once between washes. STAINS UNDER THE ARM Dissolve a few denture- cleansing tablets in a bowl of warm water, or try OxiClean. MISSING BUTTONS Easy peasy – all it takes is a needle and thread and you’re back in business.
FRAYED COLLAR Generally speaking, it’s not worth the time or money to
have a collar repaired. FRAYED CUFFS
Getting the cuffs replaced is just as expensive as getting a new shirt. So go ahead and exchange the whole thing. FADED COLOR It’s called Averitt Red – not Averitt pink. If your shirt has faded through use or sun, it’s time to move on.
