Clothing for the employee – how to take care of and what to choose

One of the obligations of an employer in Poland is to provide clothes to employees. The condition is that they comply with the labor code and OHS. Another issue is that employers should want their employees to wear neat clothes. To properly care for your clothes, they should be regularly cleaned, washed and properly maintained when necessary.

 

How to take care of employee clothes

 

Employee clothing must be washed regularly to keep it clean and tidy. Depending on the work being done, it may wear out faster or slower. However, the key is not to take care of it properly. If we decide to keep the employee's clothes clean ourselves, instead of through a hired company, we should stock up on:

  • washing machines industrial, enabling washing a large amount of clothes at the same time with a different degree of soiling,
  • industrial mangle,
  • automatic ironing machine,
  • sewing machine

Depending on the characteristics of the work, clothes should be adapted to it. If the employer runs a hotel or restaurant, then the clothes must be impeccable, both in terms of cleanliness and quality. Hence, a  industrial washer should be adapted to this. If the garment comes into contact with contamination, is industrial garment, and is often heavily soiled, then the industrial washing machine should also be adapted to these specific needs.

 

Renting clothes or buying your own

Often employers are faced with the choice of whether it is better to rent clothes or buy their own? The rental is convenient. The company is responsible for keeping them clean, replacing or repairing them. However, it is definitely a more expensive solution. In addition, it sometimes generates problems such as lack of clothing, errors in repair and in this case, it poses a serious risk that the employee in question will not have what to wear at work.

When deciding to buy it yourself, we must also remember about a suitable washing machine, a place for drying and repairing clothes on our own. Both have their advantages, and in the latter case, a good industrial washing machine becomes indispensable.
