Did you know 80% of our customers who buy chef uniforms, especially those who get a mix of white chef jackets, black chef jackets, grey chef aprons or traditional striped chef aprons, do not separate or reverse wash their chef or front of house uniforms?
The following steps will make sure your chef and hospitality uniforms look new wash after wash, just the way they did when you first bought them.
- Separate your whites and dark colours before putting them in the wash cycle.
- Reverse wash (turn inside out) your chef jackets, chef pants, work shirts and work pants.
- Soak your whites in NON-CHLORINE bleach for one to two hours.
- Use washing detergent and fabric conditioner so your chef uniforms smell great after they are washed.
- Wash your uniforms in warm water.
- Do not bleach dark colours, as they may lose their colour.
- Keep the uniforms inside out and always use a low tumble dryer setting, or drip dry in the shade.
- Ironing your uniforms is highly recommended so they look crisp and sharp when you're ready to start your day.
Did you know that your chef shoes also need to be washed regularly? Clean shoes help keep your feet healthy after a long day's work.
