UNIFORM ALLOCATION AND CARE GUIDE
At PCL Corporatewear, we are dedicated to delivering a comprehensive uniform solution customised to meet the specific needs of your business. By properly allocating and caring for uniforms, your team can consistently present a professional image, while also prolonging the life of each garment. This approach not only saves money but also minimizes environmental impact. Here’s how we assist businesses with uniform allocation and aftercare:
ALLOCATION GUIDELINES
To ensure employees always look their best, each team member should have enough uniforms to allow for washing, drying, and alternating garments. Below is our recommended allocation for full-time staff (5 days a week):
TOTAL WORKING DAYS = 233 (EXAMPLE UK)
365 days per year
20 days holiday
8 days bank holiday
104 weekend day
CARING FOR YOUR UNIFORMS
To maximise the lifespan and performance of your uniforms, we recommend the following tips:
Washing Instructions:
- Always follow care labels on garments.
- Use a cool/wool wash cycle (30°C) to protect fabric quality and reduce energy consumption.
- Wash with similar colours to maintain uniform consistency.
Drying & Ironing:
- Reshape garments and air dry naturally—avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinking.
- Use a cool iron with a damp cloth for delicate fabrics.
Rotating Garments:
- Avoid wearing the same garments on consecutive days. Rotating between
- items allows fabrics to recover and helps maintain their shape and colour.
Sustainability Tips:
- Perform simple repairs like fixing loose buttons or small tears to prolong garment life.
- When uniforms finally reach the end of their life PCL Corporatewear can support businesses with our uniform recycling programmes, helping to responsibly dispose of or repurpose old uniforms.
