Corporate Uniform Singapore

Corporate uniforms are symbol of professionalism and employees can be considered the face of the company when they don them. If work uniforms are not maintained properly, it gives off a sloppy and unprofessional look, which reflects badly on not just on the person wearing it, but also the company.

As a work uniform is something you wear every day, proper upkeep is vital so they last as long as possible and help you look your best too. 

Here are some tips on how to take proper care of your work uniform. 

Take note of the fabric used

It is best to take note of the fabric used to make your work uniform before you do anything to it. One of the more popular fabrics for corporate uniforms is cotton and it can be cold washed by hand or machine. Other uniforms like chef workwear can be made of poly cotton fabric, which may be washed using cool to warm water, and can even be popped into the dryer. Work uniforms in Singapore are also made of many other types of fabric, so make sure to do research beforehand on the best method to wash them.

Foolproof ways to wash your work uniform

  • Do not risk letting other coloured garments bleed and dye your work uniform when you wash it, especially if it’s in white. It is recommended that you wash your work uniform separately from other coloured garments. Washing it by hand also saves you the trouble of separating it from coloured clothing.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners when washing your work uniform, especially if your work entails working with grime (chef workwear and technical workwear are some examples), as it can cause dirt to resist removal.
  • A rule of thumb to always abide by is: the colder the water, the safer it is. This is for the most part apt when you have no idea what fabric your work uniform is made of, so there is no need to worry about accidentally ruining it.
  • If you really need to use bleach to disinfect or whiten your work uniform such as chef workwear, make sure you only use it on white cotton garments and dilute it with water. Do not soak your uniform in the solution for more than 10 minutes as it can cause the fabric to break down.

Iron your work uniform

This might sound like a no-brainer, but it’s extremely important that you iron your work uniform right away once it is washed and dried. This prevents a wrinkly shirt the next time you need to wear it and is also a good habit to adopt so you do not have to rush the process when you are running late for work. Tip: iron your corporate uniform inside out to avoid shining.  

Storing your work uniform
