How to Clean and Maintain Industrial Uniforms
Industrial workers often get very dirty during a typical workday. Their uniforms go through a lot of punishment in order to keep each person as safe and clean as possible. They need reliable maintenance to ensure that they retain long useful lifespans. Knowing how to clean and maintain industrial uniforms sounds like it would be beneficial for staff members. However, there are very few options available, and only one that is both consistent and affordable.
Your Options for Cleaning and Maintaining Industrial Uniforms
Industrial uniform maintenance can come in a variety of forms. This includes options such as:
Having Staff Clean Them at Home
Some industrial facilities elect to let their employees take home and clean uniforms. They see it as efficient since this takes the task out of the business’s hands and puts it squarely in the hands of staff members. In the long run, those “saved costs” will come back to bite them.
The average washer and dryer aren’t capable of fully cleaning away oils, metal dust, and other material commonly found on industrial uniforms. These machines are all most staff members will have access to and even if they were capable enough, they still wouldn’t maintain uniforms. Employees don’t know how to maintain their uniforms and, as a result, uniform integrity fails over time. This means that the facility will inevitably have to get involved.
Setting Up an On-Premise Laundry
Industrial facilities typically have a lot of employee uniforms to look out for. As a result, many facilities choose to handle laundry and maintenance in-house. This gives them full control over the process and is far more reliable than home washing.
However, on-premise laundries are very expensive and often not worth the investment. They involve finding or building dedicated space, acquiring and running laundry equipment which also raises utility bills, hiring and continuing to pay dedicated staff, and more.
