5 Ways to Extend Uniform Life
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
