Wash Care Guide

Looking after your branded workwear

Decorated workwear lasts a lot longer when it's washed properly. A few simple habits keep your printing and embroidery looking sharp wash after wash.

General rules

• Turn garments inside out before washing to protect the decoration
• Wash at 30°C where you can — cooler washes are kinder to print and thread
• Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or harsh stain removers
• Wash similar colours together
• Fasten zips and avoid overloading the machine

Drying

• Air dry where possible
• If you tumble dry, use a low heat — high heat can crack print and shrink some fabrics
• Avoid long spells in strong direct sunlight, which can fade colours

Ironing

• Iron inside out
• Never iron directly over a printed logo or embroidery
• Use a low to medium heat, and place a cloth over the area if you need to press nearby

A note on print types

Different decoration methods wear slightly differently. Embroidery is the most hard-wearing and handles commercial laundering well, which is why it's popular for uniforms washed often. Printed designs last well too when washed cool and dried gently.

If a garment ever doesn't wash as it should, get in touch — we want it to last.
