But maintaining the reflective properties and preserving the overall quality of your high vis workwear can be a rather challenging task. Improper care can lead to chipping or loss of vibrancy on the reflective stripes which is something to avoid in order to retain the garment’s safety properties.
Fret not, the team at Euca have some top-notch laundry tips to keep your high vis clothing glowing like the Australian summer sun.
Tips for taking care of your High Vis clothing
- High visibility clothing requires special care to conserve the retro-reflective material. Use laundry products that work well with hi vis clothing, like Euca Laundry Powder, or Euca Laundry Detergent Liquid. These laundry products are formulated to clean tough stains without compromising the reflective properties of your clothing.
- Be sure to turn your high vis clothing inside out before loading them into the washing machine. This helps protect the reflective elements from damage that may occur during the wash cycle, ensuring that the colours stay bright and brilliant.
- Separate your high vis clothing from the rest of your garments to avoid mixing them with rough fabrics or zippers. While Hi Vis clothing is made for tough conditions, it is still susceptible to damage, like snags and tears.
- Set your washing machine on the delicate or gentle setting to minimise agitation and extend the life of your high vis gears.
- Hot water can break down the reflective materials, leading to a less effective garment over time. To preserve the brilliance of the reflective material, use cold water instead. It’s gentle on the fabric, and also energy efficient.
- Air drying is the gentlest way to dry your high vis clothing. If possible, hang them out to dry in a shady spot, avoiding direct sunlight that may cause fading. This helps preserve the bright, reflective colour of your clothes.
- When not in use, store your high visibility clothing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the reflective areas to prevent damage.
- Spot clean regularly and pay attention to any signs of wear, tear, or damage to the reflective materials. Address any issues promptly to ensure your safety is never compromised.
- No matter how well you care for your high vis workwear and gear, they won't last forever. If you notice significant wear or reduced visibility, it's time to replace them with fresh, reliable gear.
