How To Keep Employee Uniforms Clean
If your company is the kind that requires uniform wear,
chances are that the jobs your employees are doing are specialized. Think about
the kinds of people that wear uniforms – HVAC technicians, house painters,
landscapers,
nurses, cafeteria workers, restaurant
employees. Each of these jobs requires unique design and material, either for
freedom of movement, for resistance to staining, or for bodily protection. It
makes sense, then, that the care of all of these uniforms is vastly different.
As a company, that can end up being a forgotten big ticket item on budgeting
day.
Wash At Home, or Wash At Work?
With a washer and dryer in your home, why not let your
employees make it their responsibility? Depending on the time of wear and tear
their uniforms go through, it’s not such a bad idea. Servers and nurses can
probably eradicate food
stains and repairs button losses; most of
the materials used to make those kinds of uniforms are common enough to use
standard detergent. But what about firefighters, HVAC techs, or painters? Those
kinds of rips and stains customary for those employees aren’t something that
can or should be shouldered by a home washer and dryer. It would make sense to
maintain an in-house heavy duty washing machine and industrial dryer; it would
save money on constantly replacing uniforms and on employees forgetting to
bring them in washed. But those machines are costly, considering their
electrical burden and the additional employees it would take to run them.
What Else Is There?
A third option exists. Instead of owning and maintaining
your own uniforms, your company could
rent them from an all-inclusive uniform
rental facility! This facility knows company
uniforms – they know how to wash them,
repair them, and when there’s nothing more that can be done to save them.
Although it may seem like an investment upfront, it could end up saving money
in the long term for your employee’s to always have fresh uniforms with no
fading, tearing, staining, or stretching. The professionals know how to treat
company uniforms. They can only benefit from each of its clients being happy
with the product.
