Answer
Here are some essential tips for maintaining your chef uniform:

Invest in a High-Quality Uniform

Opt for a well-made, durable chef jacket that will withstand repeated washing and last longer than cheaper alternatives2. Higher-quality uniforms are made of thicker, easier to clean fabrics that retain color2.

Treat Stains Immediately

Treat any stains or spills on your uniform as soon as possible24. Blot the stain gently with a clean cloth, then use an enzyme-based stain remover or a small amount of heavy-duty liquid detergent4. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes before washing4.

Wash Frequently

Wash your chef uniform after every shift, even if it doesn't look dirty4. Rotate through several clean coats so you always have a fresh one to wear4. Use warm or hot water and a heavy-duty detergent4.

Avoid Chlorine Bleach

Chlorine bleach can damage the fabric fibers and fade any logos or embroidery on your chef coat4. Instead, soak the uniform in warm water with one cup of oxygen-based bleach for 24 hours before washing4.

Store Properly

Hang your chef uniform up after each shift instead of leaving it crumpled on the floor2. This allows the fabric to air out between wears and extends the time between washings2.

Read Care Labels

Always check the care instructions on your chef uniform before washing2. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for water temperature, detergent, and drying method to keep the uniform looking its best2. By investing in quality, treating stains promptly, washing frequently, and storing properly, you can keep your chef uniform looking professional and extend its lifespan. Proper care is key to presenting a polished appearance in the kitchen.

Today I want to talk to you about my absolute favorite product to clean chef coats and it is not something that many people know about which is unfortunate because after cleaning chef coats for 19 almost 20 years and my absolute hatred for cleaning them because they're difficult to clean. I was so excited about a year and a half ago and I actually found a product that worked now let me start off by saying that I do not currently sell this product. I'm not trying to sell you on it. They don't get any Commission from it unfortunately but it really really does work and so here's what it is. It's this cute cute box.

Then now I have in my cupboard multiple times I've wasted so much money. Over the years. I've wasted so much water and laundry detergent because I've had to wash the chef coats three four times to get the stands out and then sometimes I would just give up and say oh well. I'm done.

  • 01:49 I can't get it out sorry babe which isn't good because then you'd have to buy new chef coats or the restaurant linen yeah anyways not good. So I went to this h2 at-home party. It's a consultant based company where they you know come to your home and share products with you and I saw this and my immediate thought was if it really gets out all the things that they're saying like Sharpie dry erase pen. Watermelon chocolate you know on the first try if that is true and this was a total stranger telling me this but I'm like well I gotta at least try it if I've tried everything else and this one really does what says it's gonna.

  • 02:34 I just scrub over the washing machine on whatever stains are on my husband chef coats and the majority of them come out the first time. Now I say the majority because yes it's not perfect. It doesn't get everything out the first time and unfortunately I can't tell you what stains. It doesn't get out because unless there's a specific smell that comes out of the coat when I'm getting it wet like fish which happens a lot. I don't. I don't always know what the stain is to tell you what works what it works well on and what it doesn't. But the majority of stains really do come out the first time and I absolutely love that and the stains that don't come out the first time. Just a quick second wash usually with a dab of like that bleach gel pen or something and it's gone so coming in September when my kids are back in school. Full-time I have big ideas to try to contact the company and see how I can get this marketed to chefs directly and to their spouses because I am tired of or I was so tired of trying to wash these coats and having no product that worked so h2o at home. I'm coming to you in September or October so be ready. We need to market this this chefs because it's an audience and just a group of people that need this product so thanks for listening.
