CARE GUIDE
Keep your threads looking better for longer.

Trust us when we say that a little TLC goes a looong way in keeping your uniform looking and feeling like new. Here are a few simple tips to help you maximise the life of your garments.

CARE GUIDE
Do’s and Don’ts.

Fasten all velcro and zips and turn garment inside out when washing.

Wash garment in cold water with a mild detergent on a short, gentle cycle.

Do not tumble dry as heat can cause fabric shrinkage.

Do not soak as it can cause fabric deterioration.

Do not bleach as it will cause discolouration and fabric degradation.

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight as it can cause the fabric colours to fade.

Line dry in shade without delay to avoid fading and creasing.

Cool to warm iron on reverse side if required. Excessive heat can damage fabrics.

TIPS & TRICKS
Garment care basics

Avoid using a hot iron as it can permanently burn fabrics, particularly synthetic fabrics like Polyester. Make sure your iron is on the correct setting before ironing.

Avoid bleach and detergents with activated enzymes. They can cause discolouring and cause the fabric to deteriorate over time.

We do not recommend using tumble dryers. The heat from tumble drying can make fabrics shrink and warp. This is especially important for synthetic fabrics like polyester.

When drying knitwear it’s best to lay the garment flat on a towel in the shade. Hanging wet knitwear on a line or a hanger can make the garment stretch.

Attend to stains immediately before they dry out. Stain removers can be effective, but always test it first on a hidden part of the garment.

Sorting your laundry by colour ensures that your garments last longer. It helps to maintain the vibrancy of your clothes, minimises the risk of colour bleeding, and makes stain treatment easier.
