Proper care of work clothes
Proper care of workwear helps maintain its functionality, durability, and aesthetic appearance. Here are some tips on how to care for workwear:
Washing:
- Read the labels: Always read and follow the instructions on the care labels of your clothing. Washing temperatures, types of detergents and washing methods may vary depending on the material.
- Separate by color: Separate clothes by color when washing to avoid mixing colors. Dark and light clothes should be washed separately.
- Use the right detergents: Choose detergents that are gentle and suitable for workwear. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric.
Drying:
- Avoid excessive heat: Most work clothes are not suitable for drying in a tumble dryer. If you must dry in a tumble dryer, choose a lower temperature and a gentle drying cycle.
- Hanging drying: It is best to dry clothes hung on a hanger or laid out on a flat surface, avoiding direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
Ironing:
- Use the right temperature: Different fabrics require different ironing temperatures. Read the label and set the right temperature.
- Ironing inside out: Some garments are best ironed inside out to prevent shiny spots from forming on the outer surface.
Storage:
- Avoid direct sunlight: Store work clothes in a dry and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight, which can damage the fabric.
- Hang properly: Clothes that can be hung should be stored on hangers to maintain their shape and prevent wrinkles.
