Maintaining Your Safety Vests for Maximum Performance

A dirty, faded, or damaged vest can reduce visibility by up to 50%. In the UAE, where dust, sand, UV exposure, and extreme heat accelerate wear, proper maintenance is essential.

Washing Guidelines

Machine wash in warm water (40C max) with mild detergent. Never use chlorine bleach. Avoid fabric softeners. Air dry when possible. FR-rated vests have specific laundering requirements.

Replacement Criteria

Replace when: fluorescent background has faded, more than 25% of reflective tape is damaged, garment has holes or significant contamination, or closures no longer work. In the UAE, expect 6 to 12 months service life for daily-use vests.
