Cleaning

  • Do not over clean – wool worsted fabrics resist stains & soil.
  • Brush Uniform regularly to remove surface dirt.
  • Dry clean only when soiled or stained.
  • Dry clean with low moisture and mild detergent.

Pressing

  • Have uniforms professionally pressed.
  • Excessive heat & pressure will make seams shine.
