Ready Set School!

Ensuring Your Child’s Uniforms and Costumes Shine for the New Year

Back-to-school is rapidly approaching and it’s hard to fathom there is now less than eight weeks left before the school year begins! The beginning of the school year is packed with activities like homecoming events, the first football games of the season, pep rallies, and talent shows. Students often finish the previous school year, throw their uniforms, costumes, and cheer outfits into the closet, and forget about them over the summer. These garments may not have even been washed, making it essential to dig them out now and prepare them for the upcoming school year.

To keep your children and teens looking their very best and to protect their uniforms and costumes from wearing quickly, it’s important as the new school year approaches to dig them out and get them to Power Cleaners! We provide expert dry and wet-cleaning solutions to maintain and restore these essential uniforms. Well-maintained uniforms play a significant role in boosting student confidence and maintaining a professional appearance. This includes all school uniforms, football uniforms, cheer and dance outfits, and costumes used for early school year events like homecoming and sports games.

Power Cleaners excels in cleaning and restoring uniforms that have been worn, soiled, and even damaged. Additionally, with students potentially growing slightly between school years, these garments might need alterations. Whether it's minor adjustments or substantial alterations, Power Cleaners is highly proficient in tailoring these garments to ensure a perfect fit. And remember, we always provide free pickup and delivery!

A student is likely to feel more confident when they maintain a professional appearance—and confidence can positively impact their psychology and help your loved ones start the new school year on the right foot. By presenting themselves well, students can feel more assured and ready to tackle the challenges of a new academic year.

Preparing for the New School Year

Now is the perfect time to inspect and clean all school uniforms. This proactive step ensures that garments are in top condition, free from any stains or damage accumulated over the previous year. Start by thoroughly checking each piece for any necessary repairs or alterations, as students may have grown over the summer. Once inspected, a deep clean is essential to remove any lingering odors or stains.

To organize and store garments for the year, consider designating a specific area in the closet for school uniforms, keeping them separate from casual wear. Use sturdy hangers to maintain the shape of the clothes and avoid overcrowding to prevent wrinkles. For items like blazers or sweaters, which may not be worn daily, breathable garment bags can protect them from dust. Additionally, rotating uniforms to ensure even wear can extend their lifespan. By taking these steps now, you’ll ensure that students start the year dressed for success and ready to impress!

Practical Home Care Tips (When Needed)

Even if you start with professional cleaning, there are times when you might need to care for uniforms at home. Here are some practical tips:

Washing

Use cold water and a gentle cycle to prevent shrinkage and color fading. Pre-treat stains with a mild stain remover before washing.

Drying

Air dry uniforms to maintain their shape. If using a dryer, choose a low heat setting.

Ironing

Iron on a low to medium heat setting. Use a cloth over any emblems or logos to protect them from damage.
