How to Make Work Uniforms Last Longer

These surprisingly simple tips help make your work uniforms last longer in excellent condition!

Getting the most out of your uniforms means you’re getting the best bang for your buck. However, as work uniforms are meant to be exactly that — something you work in — they can undergo some damage at times. Anyone who has rented or purchased professional uniforms knows just how important they are for maintaining their brand image and a sense of professionalism. Make sure your work uniforms last longer with these tips in mind. 

The First Step: Quality

We hate to point out the obvious, but if you want uniforms that will last, you need to start with high-quality clothing. This doesn’t mean you need to dish out for overly expensive garments, but beginning at a point of quality can help you keep your clothes around for longer. Price isn’t the only indicator of quality, though. A good uniform service can help you find work uniforms that can take some wear and tear and will give you your money’s worth.

Practicing Hygiene

Taking care of your hygiene is always wise if you’re going to be around others, but it’s important to consider when trying to keep your clothes in good quality too. Showering regularly, using deodorant, and wearing proper undergarments help keep your clothes cleaner and prevent sweat stains from forming. Keeping yourself clean is one of the best ways to keep your garments in top condition.

Ironing Clothes

By ironing your work clothes, you’re loosening fabric fibers to help press them flat. Improper technique can lead to burning or yellowing of the fabric, so you must use the right heat level for the type of material you’re using. Take the time to look up what your work uniforms are made of and what temperatures they should be ironed at before you accidentally ruin an otherwise perfect work uniform.

Keep a Rotation

You may have settled on a favorite uniform and want to wear it all the time, but the truth is, it’s essential to rotate the clothes you wear. By rotating your work uniforms out, you’re going to expose them to less wear and tear. Working with a professional uniform service is a great way to do this. They can help you find what high-quality uniforms you need on a schedule that works for you and minimizes your overall costs.
