What is recommended for keeping the uniform in good condition?

Keeping the uniform in good condition is essential for maintaining appearance and longevity. Dry cleaning helps to preserve the fabric and structure of the uniform, effectively removing stains and odors without causing damage that washing might incur. Properly hanging the uniform prevents creases and supports its shape, ensuring that it remains presentable for inspections or events.

Using fabric softeners can sometimes lead to residue buildup that might affect the uniform’s fabric, while washing in hot water can, in many cases, cause fading or shrinkage. Storing a uniform in a plastic bag can trap moisture, leading to mildew or odor issues over time. Therefore, dry cleaning and proper hanging are key practices for care and maintenance of the uniform.
