There are some other tips you can adopt to guarantee the durability of your school uniform – here are our top tips:
We understand that it is much easier to just wash all laundry in the same manner, however, to extend the useful life of the school uniform, it is important that you are attentive to the care label and follow the instructions. Each item of clothing is different and as such it requires a different level of attention.
Many garments have extra fibres exposed from the manufacturing process, so it is best that you wash the uniform before your child wears them. It will also reduce pulling and bobbling because it removes excess fibres before they have the opportunity to rub together.
When ironing it is more convenient to go with your trusted favourite setting, however, it is important that you use the appropriate setting with the specific item of clothing. Never use a random setting as it may burn, cripple or damage the clothes.
We know most families after school routine includes different activities to help the children develop further. School uniform best practice is changing immediately after getting home.
Fabric conditioner makes the fibres softer, garments easier to iron and protects the colour. However, our trousers are already protected with Teflon™ Fabric Protector, therefore using fabric conditioner can be counterproductive because it interferes with the process. This ultimately reduces its useful life.
Never wash school uniform on a random mode. Pay careful attention to the care label and use the mode as instructed. This is will ensure that your uniform is protected.
When washing knitwear, please follow the garment’s care guidelines first and foremost. If permitted to wash in a machine, please do so inside out to protect the material.
Do not mix your clothes with white items of uniform as the colours may run. This will alter the dazzling white hue. This is the ultimate safeguarding tip to prevent your clothes from changing colour.
When using iron-on labels, please only use them on clothing items that are iron-friendly, otherwise, you risk weakening the material prematurely. When using iron-on labels, please remember to utilise a layer between the iron and clothing to avoid sear marks.
Never wash school uniform on a random mode. Pay careful attention to the care label and use the mode as instructed. This is will ensure that your uniform is protected.
Children are exposed to a range of different environments, as well as this still being a pandemic, it is advisable that you use an antibacterial or disinfectant to ward off any roaming germs.
