Workwear Bottoms
Washing & caring for trousers & bottoms: keep the logo and the fabric
The care rules that matter
- Wash at 30°C for branded kit; 40°C for workwear that's properly dirty.
- Turn garments inside out so the logo faces in.
- Line dry where you can — tumble drying is the single biggest killer of print.
What the logo needs
Embroidery on trousers & bottoms can take the wash; print needs the gentler cycle. Never iron directly on a vinyl transfer, and keep hi-vis away from fabric softener, which dims the reflective finish.

The golden rule
When in doubt, wash cold, inside out, and air dry. Your branded kit will still look new when the cheap gear has given up.
