SCHOOL UNIFORM WASHING TIP!
The new school uniform has been bought… the labels have been removed… and now comes the washing!
But before you throw those lovely new shirts into the washing machine, there’s one little thing to watch out for…
SHIRT COLLAR STIFFENERS!
Those little plastic stiffeners can work their way out of the collar during a wash and, if they get into the wrong place, they can end up getting caught in the washing machine pump.
And that can mean:
A blocked pump
Water not draining
An unhappy washing machine
And potentially an unnecessary repair bill!
Our tip: Before washing school shirts, check the collars and remove any loose/stiffening inserts if they are designed to come out.
A few seconds checking your school uniform could save you a whole lot of hassle!
And remember… if your washing machine decides it’s had enough of school uniform too, you know who to call!
