Custard Workwear
Wash at a Low Temperature
All non decorated items should be washed according to the manufacturers instuctions.
If you have a printed item, it is recommended that it be wash at 30°C.
Our embroidery thread can withstand temperatures of 60°C should you wish, and are able, to wash these garments at a higher temperature
Don't Tumble Dry Printed Garments
Our garment printed are applied using industrial print methods and an industrial heat press.
The prints adhere to the garment using heat and, equally, heat can cause the print to lift or crack.
Therefore, we recommend that any printed garments are not tumble dried.
Embroidered garments can be tumble dried according to the manufacturers labelling
Don't Hang Printed Clothes on a Radiator
Like a tumble dryer, a radiator can heat up the print on a garment and cause it to fail by lifting or cracking.
As a result, we recommend that printed garments in particular are not hung on a hot radiator
Air Dry Garments
The best way to dry washed clothes that have been decorated with print or embroidery is to let them air dry.
Hanging clothes on the line is good for the environment, good for the clothes and good on your wallet!
Do Not Iron Over Printed Motifs
Do not iron over printed motifs on your garment. This will cause it to heat up too much and can cause the print to fail.
If you are required to iron a garment with a print, we recommend ironing it on a low heat and inside out.
Embroidered garments can withstand being ironed on with a domestic iron.
Don't Use Harsh Chemicals
Don't use harsh chemicals on your garments.
Garments should be washed according the manufacturers instructions, but also taking into account that printed and embroidered motifs should not have harsh chemicals applied to them.
Do not dry clean your garments.
