How frequently should personal protective equipment clothing be laundered?

Personal protective equipment (PPE) clothing is designed to minimize exposure to hazards, including chemical pesticides. Laundering PPE clothing at the end of each day is essential because it helps to remove any pesticide residues that could be harmful if they accumulate over time. It also helps to maintain the integrity and functionality of the PPE, ensuring that it continues to provide adequate protection.

By washing the clothing daily, you reduce the risk of transferring any contaminants to your skin or to other surfaces. Additionally, consistent laundering can help prevent any potential degradation of the fabric caused by prolonged exposure to chemicals, thus prolonging the life of the PPE. In contrast, laundering PPE only when it is visibly dirty or infrequently, such as once a week, could lead to sustained exposure to pesticide residues and increase the risk of health issues.
