    The Hi Vis Workwear is a specialized type of clothing that refers to the high visibility of a wearer from the distance, in day and night, particularly in the sector of health service and security. The construction, mining and electronic industries also include them as a part of their specialized uniform known as PPE, personal protective equipment. There are specialized standards for industry and service to use hi-vis clothing provided by the United Kingdom government uniform authorities.

    Similarly, for the same reason of uniform purpose and functionality, the washing of the hi vis workwear becomes a particular and a specialized process. In the following article, we will explain how to wash a Hi vis uniform and what are the best practices to keep it clean and vibrant for a longer time.

    Before a Wash 

    Many people take off their hi-vis work uniform after long work hours and throw it in the washing bucket. The first tip is not to roll your work jacket, coat or trouser, and the preferable idea is to hang them properly. The benefit of doing so is seeing any dust or mud stains on the apparel. You should dust it immediately and wipe it with soft linen. Hanging clothes also neatly smooth out the crease from the clothes.

    Temperature Of Water

    The water temperature for the hi-vis clothing wash must be lukewarm to help remove the stains effectively. But high-temperature washing is not recommended because the rapid temperature change weakens the fabric and the layer of reflective tape, and it loses its gloss soon.

    pH Level of Detergent

    The detergent and washing soap should not exceed PH level 11 in any condition because it erodes the fabric threads and de-colours the reflective tape due to excessive and prolonged alkalinity.

    Multiple Washes

    Multiple washes are inevitable, but the main reason is that the colours of base fabric and the brightness of reflective tape fades away. Try to reduce the washing and instead wipe and dust the uniform regularly to stretch the life of your hi-vis apparel.

    Round Off

    The hi-vis uniform is specialized and considered an essential part of PPE for the health, safety and security service providers. They are designed to be highly visible at night, in the crowd, or any hazardous situation. This article provides tips about washing a hi-vis uniform and consider some essential points that extend the vibrancy and life of your apparel.
