Workwear Care Guide

Proper care helps protect the materials, appearance and performance of your Brahma workwear. From work jackets and soft shells to high-visibility garments and other workwear, correct cleaning, drying and storage can help extend the useful life of your clothing.

Why Proper Workwear Care Matters

Brahma workwear is designed for practical use in demanding working environments. Regular and appropriate care helps keep garments clean and can help protect fabrics, construction and other garment components during everyday use.

Different Brahma garments use different fabrics, finishes, insulation, reflective materials and construction methods. As a result, care requirements can vary between products.

Protect Materials

Appropriate washing, drying and storage can help protect the fabrics and construction of your workwear.

Check Your Garment Label

Individual garments may have different requirements, so always follow the care instructions supplied with your product.

Important

Always check the care label inside your garment before cleaning. The care label provides the specific instructions for that individual product. If the garment label differs from the general guidance on this page, follow the instructions provided on the garment itself.

General Workwear Washing

Before washing or cleaning your Brahma workwear, check the garment care label and follow the instructions provided for that specific product.

  • Check the garment care label before washing or cleaning.
  • Follow the washing method and temperature specified on the garment care label.
  • Close zippers, fasteners and other closures where appropriate before washing.
  • Empty all pockets before cleaning.
  • Remove detachable components where the garment care instructions recommend doing so.
  • Use only cleaning products and treatments that are suitable for the garment and permitted by its care instructions.

Soft Shell & Padded Jackets

Soft shell and padded jackets can contain multiple fabric layers and construction components, including outer fabrics, membranes, insulation and linings. These materials may require specific cleaning and drying methods.

Do not assume that the same care method applies to every Brahma jacket. Always check the individual garment label before washing.

Soft Shell Jackets

Soft shell garments are designed to combine comfort, flexibility and protection from changing weather conditions. Follow the care instructions provided for the individual garment to help protect the fabric and any weather-resistant finishes or membranes.

Padded & Insulated Jackets

Padded and insulated jackets contain an additional layer designed to provide warmth. Correct washing and drying methods can help protect the construction and insulation of the garment. Always follow the specific care instructions supplied with the individual jacket.

High-Visibility Workwear

High-visibility workwear may incorporate fluorescent fabrics and reflective materials. These components can require specific care to help protect their appearance and performance.

Always follow the care instructions provided on the individual garment. Do not use cleaning methods, chemicals or treatments that are not permitted by the garment care label.

Where high-visibility workwear is required for a specific workplace application, follow your workplace procedures and the requirements applicable to the garment in addition to the manufacturer's care instructions.

Removing Stains

Where possible, deal with stains as soon as practical and follow the care instructions for the garment.

  • Remove loose dirt before washing where appropriate.
  • Use only cleaning products suitable for the garment.
  • Avoid aggressive scrubbing that could damage fabrics, reflective materials or other garment components.
  • Do not use bleach, solvents or other harsh chemicals unless specifically permitted by the garment care label.
  • For difficult or persistent stains, consider professional cleaning where appropriate and permitted by the garment care instructions.

Drying & Storage

Dry your Brahma workwear using the method specified on the garment care label. Different garments may have different drying requirements.

  • Follow the drying method specified on the garment care label.
  • Do not use excessive heat where it is not permitted by the garment care instructions.
  • Where shade drying is specified, keep the garment out of direct sunlight while drying.
  • Make sure garments are completely dry before storing them for extended periods.
  • Store clean, dry garments in a clean and dry environment.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when garments are not being worn.
  • Do not leave garments in hot vehicles or other conditions that may damage the materials.

What to Avoid

  • Do not ignore the care instructions on the garment label.
  • Do not use bleach unless specifically permitted.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals or unapproved cleaning treatments.
  • Do not tumble dry a garment where tumble drying is prohibited.
  • Do not dry clean a garment where dry cleaning is prohibited.
  • Do not iron a garment where ironing is prohibited.
  • Do not expose garments to excessive heat or conditions that may damage the materials.
  • Do not store garments while they are wet or damp.

Understanding Your Garment Care Label

The care label inside your Brahma garment provides the specific cleaning and drying instructions for that product. Care symbols and written instructions may vary depending on the garment's materials and construction.

If you are unsure about a care symbol or instruction, check the garment label carefully before cleaning. When in doubt, contact Brahma before washing or treating the garment.
