Implementing a uniform policy for your business has a lot of
benefits.
Unfortunately, it can at times be a bit of a headache if you aren’t prepared.
Once you implement your uniform policy, one of the biggest decisions you will
have to make is how you will keep them clean. Here are a couple of your
options.
An easy solution to keeping uniforms clean is to have your
employees wash them at home. Just be careful, as this policy is not
particularly good for the longevity of your uniforms. There are some
fabrics
that require specific detergents, and many that shouldn’t go into the dryer.
When all of your employees are washing their work uniforms at home, you have no
control over exactly how that is done.
Providing in-house laundry is hugely convenient for your
employees. They can avoid bringing home contaminants from work, and they will
always be able to keep their uniforms clean. That said, industrial-grade
washing machines can be expensive to buy and maintain. These machines also take
up a significant amount of floor space, so you should make sure you have plenty
of room. It is important to make sure that any lingering chemical residue is
removed from the uniforms before they are put into the dryer, because some
things are toxic when heated.
The easiest and most cost-effective option for keeping your
work uniforms clean is to partner with a uniform rental
company
that includes laundry service. You only need to tell the company your
business’s needs and they will take care of the rest. If a uniform garment is
in disrepair (like a missing button, holes, or a torn seam) the rental company
will take care of it. This takes one thing off of your plate and keeps your
employees looking their best at all times.
