How often should you wash your contaminated overalls?

Washing contaminated overalls daily is critical in maintaining safety and health standards within the field of pest control. Overalls worn during application of pesticides or other hazardous materials can accumulate contaminants that pose risks to the wearer and the environment. By laundering them daily, you significantly reduce the risk of exposure to harmful substances that may remain on the fabric.

This regular cleaning practice helps ensure that any residues are removed before the next use, keeping both the applicator and the surrounding area safe from potential contamination. Such diligence demonstrates a commitment to a safe working environment, aligns with industry best practices, and adheres to guidelines set forth by regulatory agencies concerning personal protective equipment (PPE) used in pest control operations.
