Professional apparel for HOUSEKEEPING

The ideal materials for housekeeping clothing should combine durability, comfort and ease of cleaning. At RAG Tailors, we favour fabrics such as antibacterial microfibres that are bleach-tolerant and washable at 90°C, perfect for environments that require deep sanitisation. Cotton twills offer breathability and comfort during long working hours, while polyester-cotton blend fabrics ensure resistance to frequent wear and tear and repetitive movements. These premium materials are selected to withstand frequent washing without losing their shape or colour, essential features for housekeeping uniforms that maintain a professional appearance even after intensive use.

The choice of housekeeping uniform model should consider both functionality and the image of the establishment. For hotels, we recommend sets that include smocks or tunics with functional pockets to carry essential cleaning products, combined with comfortable trousers that allow free movement. Aprons can complement the outfit, especially for housekeepers and cleaning staff. At RAG Tailors, our solutions allow customization according to the work environment – ​​more formal models for luxury hotels or more practical designs for establishments focused on functionality. Also consider details that reflect the brand identity, such as corporate colors and finishes that project professionalism.

Customised professional clothing for cleaning teams offers multiple benefits. Firstly, it reinforces brand identity, making employees instantly recognisable to customers. The customisation through embroidery, printing or screen printing that we offer at RAG Tailors allows you to integrate logos and corporate colours, creating a consistent visual presence. From a functional point of view, uniforms can be tailored to the specific needs of the team, with strategically placed pockets or reinforcements in areas of high wear. Additionally, customised uniforms promote a sense of belonging among employees, increasing team cohesion and demonstrated professionalism, essential in the hospitality and cleaning services sector.

To maximize the durability of housekeeping clothing that is subject to frequent washing, we recommend strictly following the care instructions for each item. RAG Tailors uniforms made from special microfibers can be washed at temperatures up to 90°C and withstand exposure to bleach, ideal for deep sanitizing. For cotton garments, we suggest washing at 60°C to effectively eliminate bacteria and stains. Other fabrics benefit from washing cycles at lower temperatures. It is important to separate colors, avoid overloading the machine and use detergents suitable for the type of fabric. Drying naturally or at low temperatures preserves the fibers and colors of the uniform. With this specific care, housekeeping uniforms remain impeccable for much longer, representing a smarter investment in the long term.

The right accessories are essential to complete professional housekeeping attire, improving both functionality and protection. Sturdy aprons are essential to protect the main uniform during more intensive tasks. Non-slip footwear provides safety on wet surfaces, which is common in cleaning environments. Gloves made of different materials are essential to protect hands when handling chemicals. Caps or hairnets are necessary in environments that require strict hygiene standards. At RAG Tailors, we also recommend the use of identification badges, which, in addition to identifying the professional, reinforce the corporate image. These complementary elements not only increase the protection and functionality of the uniform, but also complete the professional presentation of the team.

The lifespan of quality housekeeping uniforms depends significantly on the materials used and the care taken in maintaining them. Uniforms made from premium fabrics, such as those supplied by RAG Tailors, typically remain in excellent condition for 12 to 24 months of intensive use and frequent washing. Our bleach-tolerant and highly abrasion-resistant fabrics have been specifically selected to withstand the daily wear and tear of housekeeping duties. Factors such as frequency of use, working conditions and washing methods directly influence durability. We recommend having at least 3 sets per employee to allow for proper rotation and extend the lifespan of each garment, resulting in a more efficient long-term investment for hospitality establishments and cleaning companies.

Yes, the professional clothing market is increasingly focused on sustainability, including the housekeeping sector. At RAG Tailors, we integrate sustainable practices into our production, offering uniforms made from eco-friendly materials such as certified organic cotton and fabrics made from recycled fibres. These options maintain the durability and functionality required for intensive housekeeping work, while reducing the environmental impact. Our production processes also incorporate low water consumption techniques and reduced use of chemicals. In addition, we offer consultancy to help customers plan more efficient purchases, avoiding waste and extending the life cycle of uniforms, thus aligning with environmentally responsible policies increasingly valued in the hospitality sector.
