1. Washing Guidelines (By Garment Type)

Tops (Chef Coats & Shirts)

• • Spot-treat deep stains with a Tide pen or gentle stain remover before washing.
    Wash in cold water to minimize shrinkage and color fading.
  • Use a mild, enzyme-based detergent to break down food oils without damaging the fabric.
  • Turn garments inside out before washing to protect logos, buttons, and surface details.
  • Tumble dry on low heat, or shake out after washing and hang dry to help minimize wrinkles.

Bottoms (Pants, Jumpsuits, Overalls)

• • Machine wash on cold with similar colors; separate darks and lights.
  • Tumble dry on low heat, or shake out after washing and hang dry to help minimize wrinkles.
  • Fasten zippers and buttons to prevent snags or abrasion.
  • Avoid overloading the washer to reduce friction and preserve fabric quality.

Aprons

• • Remove any leather components before machine washing.
  • Shake off debris and pre-treat stains with a spot treater.
  • For waxed aprons, wipe clean with mild soap and a soft sponge. Machine wash to remove odor.
  • Tie or secure apron straps (or place in a laundry bag) to prevent tangling.
  • Use a gentle cycle for the first wash to help preserve color.
  • Hang dry or tumble dry on low/cool air.

2. Temperature & Cycle Recommendations

• Cold is preferred; hot water may cause shrinkage or set stains.
• Use gentle/delicate cycles, especially for printed or embroidered garments.
• Always follow the specific instructions on each garment’s care label.

3. Drying Instructions

• Air dry or line dry when possible to maintain fit and reduce wear.
• If using a dryer, select low heat only.
• Remove items promptly to prevent wrinkles.

4. Stain Treatment Tips

• Pre-treat stains (oil, tomato, coffee, etc.) as soon as possible with mild stain remover or gentle dish soap.
• For tougher stains, allow garments to soak briefly before washing.
• Avoid chlorine bleach on colored fabrics to prevent fading or fiber damage.

5. Fabric Protection & Handling

• Turn garments inside out to protect prints, embroidery, and color depth.
• Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, which can weaken fibers and fade fabrics.
• Skip fabric softeners on workwear, they can leave residue and reduce breathability.

6. Ironing & Finishing

• Use medium heat when ironing.
• Do not iron directly over logos or embroidery, turn garments inside out or use a pressing cloth.
• For heavier fabrics (like denim aprons or pants), use a steam setting for best results.

7. Storage & Longevity Tips

• Store garments completely dry to prevent mildew or odors.
• Hang tops and aprons to maintain shape; fold bottoms as needed.
• Repair loose threads or stitching early to extend the garment’s lifespan.

8. Safety & Sanitation Notes 

• For garments exposed to heavy food residue, wash soon after use to prevent bacteria buildup.
• Certain fabrics may allow sanitize-cycle settings; always check the care label first.
