Washing instructions. 

How dirty are your work clothes really? Do they need that extra wash or is it enough with a bit of airing between washes? Fair enough, if you had a full day on a muddy potato field, there’s probably no other option, but make sure you fill the machine before turning it on. It reduces the use of water, detergents and electricity for each garment, reducing the environmental impact on every pair of work trousers we produce

Choose the right temperature for washing 

Extremely hot temperatures don’t necessarily give you a better result. Unless the clothes are extremely stained, we recommend 40°C. This way your work trousers will last longer, both regarding fibres and colour. They will survive an occasional 60°C if need be, even if we recommend 40°C. 

Use the right amount of detergent

Neither your clothes nor the environment benefit from overdosing washing detergent. Instead, it can cause bad smell, allergies, and unnecessary wear to the fibres in your clothes.

Soft laundry naturally, without fabric softener
The elastic material in the pants doesn’t do well with fabric softener. In addition to being harmful to the environment, it weakens the fibers and shortens their lifespan. It also reduces the ability to wick moisture away from the clothes. Instead, we recommend using vinegar, which makes the laundry softer, less static, and removes bad odors.

Treat the stain gently

Workwear with stains

- Be quick! Easier said than done if the stain occurs at the start of the day but try to treat as soon as possible for best result.  
- Don’t unnecessarily aggravate the stain or tear on the fibres by rubbing the fabric too hard.
- Find the right stain remover for your specific stain and pre-treat with the right product for best result.

Air dry rather than tumble dry
The elastic material in the work trousers contains elastane which gives the trousers its stretch. The high temperatures in tumble dryers destroys the elastane which leads to your trousers losing their shape. In addition, just hanging your clothes up for drying has no impact on the environment.
