5 Ways to Extend Uniform Life

Care Tips

Uniforms get hammered day in, day out. But with a few simple habits, you can keep them looking sharp for longer.

#1: Wash Smart

Don’t just throw it all in at 90°C. Follow the tag and stick to gentle cycles when you can.

#2: Air Dry Over Heat Dry

High heat breaks down fibres. Peg it on the line instead.

#3: Rotate Your Sets

Wearing the same thing five days a week? You’ll burn through it faster. Rotate between 2–3 sets where possible.

#4: Spot Clean Small Marks

“Not every spill needs a full wash.”

#5: Stitch Before It Tears

Loose seam? Tidy it up early. You’ll double the garment’s lifespan.

Quick Tip

Here’s how to hand wash stubborn stains:

1. Fill a bucket with warm water  
2. Add gentle detergent  
3. Soak for 10 minutes  
4. Gently rub with a cloth  
5. Rinse and hang to dry
