WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
CHOOSE SIZE CAREFULLY
WASHING
All our garments are properly tested . Each of our garments has its own washing instructions , and it ’ s important to follow these . If a garment is always washed with similar colours and at the recommended temperature , it will stay looking good for longer . “ Wash separately ” in the washing instructions means that the colour of the fabric may run – for these garments , which may initially have a little extra dye , it is particularly important to follow the washing instructions .
PREWASH
Use the same amount of detergent as in the main wash cycle when prewashing very dirty clothes , but skip the prewash cycle completely for less dirty garments . Soaking garments is not recommended due to the damage which undisolved detergent can do to fabrics .
Size is extremely important when it comes to work clothes – it affects function , wear and ergonomics . ProJob clothing is designed with flexibility in mind . Clothes that are the wrong size prevent the wearer from moving around freely . Pockets and other functional details which are used repeatedly during the working day need to be positioned where they can be reached easily . If the clothing is the wrong size , either the positioning of the pockets will force the wearer to make strenuous movements , or the pockets will serve no purpose at all . It ’ s also extremely important for the knee protectors to be in the right place to prevent unnecessary wear . The size also affects how long clothes last – the tighter the garment , the greater the strain on the seams and the fabric .
The ProJob collection includes sizes to meet every need . Almost all our tops are available in XS – 4XL and almost all our trousers are available in C44 – C62 , D84 – D120 and C146 – C156 ( see Size Guide page 205 for details ).
DETERGENT
Always be sure to use the correct amount of detergent – see the detergent packaging . Choose a bleach-free detergent which is suitable for the temperature of the wash .
DRYING
Only tumble dry as a last resort – if you have enough time and space , hanging garments out to dry is recommended as this is better for your clothes . Smooth out the fabric and the seams before hanging up a garment . When tumble drying , the garment should never be completely dried , as this causes unnecessary wear and can cause shrinkage .
