Tips on how to care for your work clothes
To wash and maintain high-visibility workwear effectively, you can use products like Re:Claim Work, a specially formulated detergent for workwear. Re:Claim Work is designed to clean dirt and sweat effectively without damaging reflective details and color. It contains no bleach or harsh chemicals, making it ideal for high-visibility clothing.
Here’s a step-by-step guide for the best results:
1. Read the care label: Check the garment’s care label for specific instructions. High-visibility clothing may have special recommendations to protect the reflective areas and color.
2. Separate garments: Wash high-visibility workwear separately from other clothes to avoid color transfer and wear.
3. Use Re:Claim Work: This specially formulated detergent is gentle on reflective materials and helps maintain the color and visibility of high-visibility clothing.
4. Avoid fabric softener: Fabric softeners can affect the reflective surfaces and reduce their effectiveness. When using Re:Claim Work, fabric softener is not needed.
5. Lower temperature: Wash at a lower temperature, usually around 40 degrees Celsius, unless otherwise specified, to protect the material.
6. Air dry: Air dry the garments instead of tumble drying, as heat can damage the reflective areas.
7. Avoid ironing: If ironing is necessary, avoid the reflective areas entirely.
With Re:Claim Work, you can keep your high-visibility workwear in top condition, maintaining both cleanliness and visibility, which extends the lifespan and effectiveness of the garments.
