PROTECT YOUR REFRIGIWEAR GARMENT, AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO PROTECT YOU!
Dry cleaning, heat drying and excessive laundering of your insulated protective clothing will break down the insulation and waterproof coating on your garment, meaning it cannot keep you as warm or protected.
Protect your garment by following a few simple laundry guidelines, and you can extend the life of your garment and preserve its insulating and protective qualities.
DO
LAUNDER OCCASIONALLY
RefrigiWear Garments only need to be washed once every 2–3 weeks. Wash alone using warm water <104ºF and mild detergent.
"FLUFF" YOUR WET GARMENT
After laundering your garment, machine dry your garment for a maximum of 10 minutes on the lowest heat setting to restore insulation volume.
AIR DRY
After fluffing, hang your garment to dry.
DON'T
USE INDUSTRIAL WASHING MACHINES
Industrial washing machines are too rough on your garment’s fabric and insulation.
DRY CLEAN YOUR GARMENT
NEVER dry clean your RefrigiWear garment. Dry cleaning will considerably shorten the life of any RefrigiWear garment.
HEAT-DRY YOUR
GARMENT
Drying your garment any longer than 10 minutes can damage the insulation.
HOW DO I CLEAN MY INSULATED GARMENTS?
One of the best perks of your job is that you never have to wear a suit and tie. Another perk is that you never have to take your work clothes to the dry cleaner. But how do you get rid of the grease, grit and gunk on your work coat? This handy guide explains how to clean your insulated jacket, overalls or coveralls in a few simple steps to extend its life and give you reliable protection for years to come!
CHECK AND EMPTY ALL YOUR PRODUCTS
Your RefrigiWear garment may have handwarmer pockets, chest pockets, zippered pockets or interior pockets and you don’t want to wash small tools or electronics by mistake.
WASH INSULATED GARMENTS SEPARATELY FROM OTHER LAUNDRY
Use a mild detergent and warm water (less than 104°F).
DRY ON LOWEST HEAT SETTING FOR 10 MINUTES, THEN AIR DRY
It takes a little longer, but air drying is safer for the material inside your insulated garment and helps it last longer. A fan can help get the job done faster.
WASH YOUR INSULATED GARMENT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS
If you need to get a little everyday dirt off your winter work coat, overalls, or coveralls without a full wash cycle, you can spot clean your garment with a soft, dry brush or a wet cloth.
