Workwear & Uniform Care and FAQs
General Workwear Care:
Q: How often should I wash my workwear?
A: The frequency of washing depends on the type of work and level of soiling. For most workwear, we recommend washing after every 2-3 wears. However, if your work involves heavy soiling or exposure to chemicals, daily washing may be necessary. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
High-Visibility Workwear Maintenance:
Q: How can I maintain the reflective properties of my hi-vis workwear?
A: To maintain the reflectivity of your hi-vis workwear, such as our Premium Hi-Vis Hoodie, follow these tips:
- Wash separately from other garments to prevent abrasion.
- Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
- Wash in cold or warm water (max 40°C).
- Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
- Iron on low heat, avoiding direct heat on reflective strips.
Regular cleaning helps remove dirt that can diminish reflectivity. Replace the garment if reflective strips show signs of wear or peeling.
