LAUNDRY & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
LAUNDRY PREPARATION
For best results, launder uniforms immediately after
each wearing.
Garments that cannot be washed promptly should be
hung individually on rust-proof hangers or hooks.
Perspiration fading may occur if wet garments are
left in a pile.
Inspect garments for tears, snags, etc. before
laundering.
Repairs should be made before washing to prevent further
damage.
Remove all contrasting color items (belts, gloves, etc.)
from garments and wash separately.
Before laundering a load of new uniforms, wash a sample
uniform according to label directions.
SOAKING
Heavily soiled garments should be soaked in lukewarm
water with a protein release agent for a MAXIMUM
of 45 minutes.
Wash garments in a normal cycle IMMEDIATELY
after soaking.
WASHING
Do not wash white and colors
together.
Wash all garments in warm water (110 F) or less.
Rinse temperature should be the same as wash.
Use a mild (under 10.0ph) detergent.
Maintain a high water level in the washing
machine to minimize mechanical action.
Lower water level (to increase mechanical action)
only when uniforms are extremely soiled.
Avoid overloading machine.
Use an anti-static agent, especially on garments
to be tumble-dried, to minimize lint attraction and
spark discharge.
BLEACH
DO NOT USE CHLORINE BLEACH as it fades colors and
weakens some materials.
DO NOT BLEACH any garment containing braid, trim or
embroidery.
When bleach is required on an all white garment, use a
light application of an oxygen-based bleach.
DRYING
For best results, garments should
be hung to drip dry.
When tumble drying, use the lowest temperature or
“air only” setting.
Remove garments from dryer promptly.
DRY CLEANING
DO NOT DRY CLEAN
any uniforms
STORAGE
Dry garments completely before
storing.
Store in a cool dry area, protected from sunlight and
fluorescent light to prevent mildew and yellowing.
IRONING
No ironing should be necessary.
If ironed, use low temp only.
