What to keep in mind when washing workwear

The most important thing for prolonging the life of work clothes is to follow the washing and drying symbols on the label. Check the label on each garment—pants and jackets separately—as, for instance, pants may have an embedded protective layer that requires a specific washing cycle.

Tips for washing workwear

Close zippers, and to protect patches, reflective elements, or prints, turn the clothes inside out.

Work clothes often require a higher washing temperature to effectively kill bacteria and remove stubborn dirt.

More intensive and longer washing programs are needed to effectively clean heavily soiled clothing.

Sometimes, to ensure antibacterial cleanliness, ozonation can be used, which will eliminate bacteria from your clothing in 20 minutes.

To have your clothes dry and ready for the next workday, use the dryer after washing.

Work clothes subjected to intense wear need to be washed more frequently than everyday clothing to maintain their protective properties, such as fire resistance and water repellency.
