Effective Tips on How to Take Care of Dental Uniforms

Uniforms are all about looking professional and trustworthy – but nothing kills this image more than stains, creases or worn looking clothing.

A little care and attention goes a long way when it comes to keeping your uniform smart for longer, yet nobody wants to spend hours at the end of the day washing and ironing the uniform.

So the next question is how do we get the best from our uniforms with the minimum of effort?

Follow simple tips and strategies to find out more.

1. Choose Your Uniform Wisely
   

While choosing your dental uniforms, Budget should definitely be a constraint. It is advisable that you should use your money in the best possible uniform available.

Spend time researching the market and what you can buy within your budget. It is advisable that you should look for something which is strong, high-quality material with excellent finishing on the seams.

Make sure that the material is easy to care for; for instance if you like the crisp look of linen, opt instead for a linen look polyester that gives this beautiful look but can be washed in the machine and require little or no ironing.

Many of our beauty and spa uniforms are available in this beautiful fabric. Another good strategy that you cannot avoid is to look at the company reviews and get personal recommendations from people who are in the business.

2. Follow the Care Instructions Properly
   

Preferably, find out about the care details before you invest! Ideally, a uniform can be thrown into the machine at the end of the day and require little or no maintenance.

Even better – if you take uniforms that are made by Rosestapa. 

No matter what, however, you should read the instructions before you throw your uniform for the wash – you really don’t want your new uniform to shrink after its first wear. 

3. Wash Regularly and Look for Stains 
   

Well it is needless to say, the best way to keep your uniform clean and tidy is to wash it regularly. Sometimes your uniform may not even look dirty, but the colour can become dull and – worst of all – it can smell without you realising it.

In addition, if you get a stain on your uniform, deal with it as quickly as possible so that it doesn’t get ingrained into the material.

Hopefully you have chosen a uniform which is made of high-quality study material, so a stand should lift straight off if you are unfortunate to get one.

4. Wear Your Uniform Only at Work 
   

Ensure that you wear your uniform only for work, only getting into it before you leave and changing immediately when you get home from work.

Cooking and eating will increase your chances of spelling something on your tunic – and will force you to work with clothes that smell of your breakfast or dinner is not a very good idea.

Even worse, if you are going out with friends after work, bring a change of clothes – a pub is no place for a beauty uniform!

5. Keep a Spare Uniform Handy 
   

Washing and wearing the same uniform five days a week will soon take its toll – on both the material and your nerves!

If you can afford it, invest in at least two sets of the uniform which will also give you a breather when it comes to maintenance, and to ensure each tunic is not subjected to the rigour of the machine every day.

Having a spare will also take away the temptation to throw a uniform into the dryer when it’s not even advised on the care label – this is a shortcut to an absolute disaster!
