How to Wash Wearpacks to Keep Them Durable and Comfortable to Wear

Wearpack is an important workwear designed to protect the body from the risks of work in the field—whether in factories, workshops, construction projects, or laboratories. Because of its crucial function, wearpack maintenance must be carried out properly to keep it durable, clean, and comfortable to wear every day.

This article discusses a complete guide to washing wearpacks , starting from preparation, washing techniques, to tips for proper drying and storage.

1. Preparation Before Washing

✔️ Check the Care Label

Before washing, always check the label on the wearpack. Some types of materials such as ripstop cotton, canvas, or polyester blends may have special washing rules.

✔️ Separate by Color and Level of Dirt

Avoid washing dark colored wearpacks with other clothes to prevent fading. If the wearpack is very dirty (oily, muddy, or exposed to chemicals), separate it so as not to contaminate other clothes.

2. The Correct Technique for Washing Wearpacks

Use the Washing Machine with Gentle Mode

• Select gentle wash or heavy duty mode depending on the condition of the wearpack.
  
• Use cold or warm water (not hot water) to avoid damaging the fabric fibers and colors.
  
• Avoid bleach, especially on colored wearpacks.

Use a Mild Detergent

Use a liquid detergent that is gentle on your work fabric. Avoid harsh detergents that can strip away protective coatings (such as waterproof or fireproof coatings).

Manual Wash for Extra Dirty Parts

For heavy stains (oil, paint, or dirt), apply a soft brush and detergent directly to the stain before loading it into the machine. Use bar soap or baking soda as a natural alternative.

3. Drying Process

• Dry in a shaded and well-ventilated place. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading quickly.
  
• Hang the wearpack using a hanger so that its shape does not change.
  
• Avoid using a dryer, especially for fire-resistant or waterproof materials.

4. Wearpack Storage

• Store in a dry and clean place.
  
• Make sure the wearpack is 100% dry before storing it to prevent mold or a musty odor.
  
• Use a cupboard with good air circulation, or add camphor/charcoal bags to absorb moisture.

Additional Tips

• If possible, wash your wearpack at least once a week or every time you finish using it in a dirty environment.
  
• For wearpacks with special features (fireproof, waterproof, reflective), consider professional dry cleaning as recommended by the manufacturer.
  
• Replace your wearpack regularly if it starts to show signs of heavy wear such as tears, broken zippers, or total fading.
