Why should you wear workwear in chemical environments?
As mentioned, using workwear in different environmental conditions protects our lives from possible dangers and injuries in the workplace. For example, if a person is exposed to chemicals and toxic substances, he must use clothes specifically for such conditions; workwear and equipment needed in such a workplace include: gloves for working with chemicals, protective workwear and aprons made of materials resistant to these substances, safety shoes resistant to chemicals, etc. In the demanding environment of the chemical and petrochemical industries, safety is of paramount importance, as there are many risks, from exposure to hazardous materials to extremely high temperatures and strict compliance requirements; at Asan Poosh, we understand the unique challenges faced by professionals working in this sector.

Washing and maintaining workwear in chemical environments
One of the things that should be taken into account when using workwear is their correct use and maintenance. Perhaps the clothes need to be used for many hours during the day and this can cause damage to them in the long term, so the proper care and maintenance of these clothes should also be a priority. Given the sensitivity of chemical environments and work in them, there are important tips for maintaining workwear, these tips include:
✓ workwear should be washed based on the type of fabric and separately from other clothes.
✓ Do not use workwear outside the workplace, this means that after the end of your working day, you should change your clothes and if you use them in chemical environments, place them in separate compartments.
✓ You should use gloves to wash workwear, especially when they have been used in chemical or toxic environments.
✓ If you plan to wash your workwear in the washing machine, it is better to use more water.
✓ Use the appropriate washing powder and hot water to wash chemical protective workwear.
✓ The best way to dry your workwear is to hang them in the sun, as this will remove any remaining contamination.
✓ If you use a washing machine to wash industrial workwear, be sure to clean the inside of the washing machine at the end to ensure that there is no chemical contamination.
