Laundry Tips: The Right Way to Sort School Uniforms

Sorting school uniforms might seem like a chore, but doing it right can make a huge difference. Here’s how to keep those colours bright and the fabrics looking fresh:

Separate by Colour

Keep darks, lights, and white clothes apart. This helps prevent any accidental colour transfer because no one wants a pink shirt unless it’s part of the uniform!

Sort by Fabric Type

Put delicate items such as blouses or anything with embroidery in one load, and sturdier pieces like pants and blazers in another. This keeps the delicate stuff from getting roughed up.

Check the Labels

Before tossing anything in the wash, take a quick look at the care labels. Some items may need a gentle cycle or cold water wash.

Laundry Tips: Pre-Treatment Hacks for School Uniforms

Getting rid of stains before they are set can save you a lot of frustration later on. Here’s how to tackle the usual suspects for school uniforms:

Check Care Labels

Always start by reading the care label. It's your best guide to proper treatment and helps you avoid any laundry mishaps.

Act Fast

The sooner you treat a stain, the better. Grab a damp cloth or paper towel and blot (don’t rub!) the stain to lift it without spreading. Quick action is key!

Pre-Soak Stains

For those stubborn stains, try a pre-soak. Fill a basin with cool water and add a stain remover like an eco-friendly pre-wash stain remover or laundry soaker brightener. Let the uniform soak for about 30 minutes before tossing it into the wash.

Laundry Tips: The Best Products for School Uniform Care

When it comes to keeping your school uniforms looking their best, having the right cleaning products can make a big difference. Euca has your back with the top-notch range designed to make laundry day easier and more effective. Here are Euca laundry essentials, the highly recommended products for your school uniform; 

Eco-Friendly Pre-Wash Stain Remover

For those tough stains, Euca’s Eco-Friendly Pre-Wash Stain Remover is a game-changer. Made from citrus and eucalyptus, it’s a new generation of natural cleaning products that dissolve soils, oils, and greases without harsh chemicals.

It’s non-flammable, biodegradable, and won’t affect colours or fabrics. Just spray a bit on the stain before washing or soak heavily soiled items in a diluted solution – it’s perfect for keeping those uniforms looking sharp!

Euca Eucalyptus Premium Laundry Powder Concentrate

This eco-friendly laundry powder concentrate is perfect for keeping your uniforms clean and fresh. It's gentle on fabrics, effective at removing stains, and has a pleasant eucalyptus scent. It’s free of added perfumes and harsh chemicals, so it’s great for the environment and your washing machine, too!

Plus, it’s 100% soluble, making it safe for septic and greywater systems. It leaves your clothes with a pure, fresh linen scent – no artificial fragrances needed. For a touch of eucalyptus, add a few drops of Euca Eucalyptus oil or their Laundry Sanitiser in the final rinse.

Euca Soaker Laundry Brightener

If your uniforms are starting to look dull, Euca Soaker Laundry Brightener can help brighten them up. It's also effective at removing stubborn stains. This soaker is gentle but effective, removing stains without using harsh chlorines.

And like the laundry powder, it’s made with natural eucalyptus oil, making it ideal for sensitive skin. You can even use it on carpets, upholstery, and work clothes for those extra stubborn stains. Add it to your laundry routine to keep those colours vibrant and whites shining!

Fabo "Eucalyptus" Fabric Softener Conditioner

Finish off your laundry routine with this concentrated fabric softener. It makes fabrics feel luxuriously soft and fresh while easing ironing. With anti-static properties, it’s perfect for synthetic blends and works wonders without leaving any residue.

The Australian eucalyptus oil naturally cleans and deodorises, making it a great choice for the whole family, especially those with sensitive skin. Use just 20ml per load and enjoy soft, fresh-smelling clothes!

Laundry Tips: Drying Techniques to Preserve Fabric and Shape

Keeping your school uniforms looking great after washing is all about the right drying techniques. Here’s how to do it right:

Air Drying

Whenever possible, air dry your uniforms. Lay them flat on a clean, dry towel, or hang them up to dry naturally. This method helps maintain their shape and prevents shrinkage.

Avoid Overloading the Dryer

If you have to use a dryer, don’t overload it. Giving each item enough space ensures they dry evenly and reduces the risk of fabric damage.

Use Low Heat

Choose a low heat setting or tumble dry on low. High heat can damage fabrics and lead to shrinking or fading. It’s gentler on your uniforms and helps them keep their shape.

Remove Promptly

Take your uniforms out of the dryer as soon as they’re done to prevent wrinkles and creases. Give them a quick shake before hanging or folding.

Laundry Tips: Ironing and Folding Tips

Getting your school uniforms crisp and tidy doesn’t have to be a hassle. With a few simple tricks, you can make ironing and folding a breeze, ensuring your uniforms look sharp and ready for the school day. Here’s how to keep everything looking its best:

Iron While Damp

Iron your uniforms while they’re still a bit damp for the best results. It’s easier to get out wrinkles and helps the fabric keep its shape. If they’re already dry, a light spray of water can help.

Use the Right Heat Setting

Check the care label and set your iron to the appropriate temperature for the fabric. Avoid using high heat on delicate materials to prevent damage.

Iron Inside Out

To protect the fabric and avoid shiny spots, iron your uniforms inside out. This also helps prevent any accidental scorch marks.

Press, Don’t Iron

Use a gentle pressing motion rather than rubbing the iron back and forth. This helps keep the fabric smooth and avoids stretching.

Folding for Freshness

Fold uniforms neatly to keep them looking crisp. Smooth out any wrinkles before folding and try to avoid overstuffing your drawers to keep everything looking tidy.

Hang Uniforms

For a wrinkle-free look, hang uniforms on hangers right after ironing. This keeps them in shape and ready to wear.
