HOW TO MAINTAIN AND WASH HI-VIS CLOTHING PROPERLY
High visibility (hi-vis) clothing plays a very important role in worker safety, mainly in areas like construction, transportation, warehousing, and roadside work. Proper washing and maintenance of your hi-vis clothes are the key factors in ensuring that they serve you well for a long time. Make sure that your safety gear is bright, compliant, and ready for each working day.
Before starting the washing process, always read the garment's care label. Apart from washing hi-vis clothing separately from most soiled items to avoid staining or damage to the fabric, using the right detergent is also important. One feature of harsh detergents is that they contain bleach, which can break down reflective parts and remove the brightness from your clothing.
Since reflective strips can be worn out faster by constant rubbing, it is better to turn the clothes inside out before washing. Follow the instructions on water temperature given by manufacturers, don't fill the washing machine with too many items at once, and reduce friction, as there is a risk it can destroy fabric and reflective tape over time.
For drying, select a cooler drying temperature setting or if you can, leave your items to dry naturally. Heat of high intensity may spoil the reflective surfaces and make the garment less usable. Hi-vis clothing needs checking most of all for loss of color, rips, or removal of reflective tape. Change them when they no longer provide sufficient luminous power.
Having the right care leads to upholding the reflectiveness, sturdiness, and safety aspects of hi-vis clothing. By adopting good washing and maintenance habits, your clothing will last longer and perform the visibility function so necessary for a safer work environment.
