Some can. But UniFirst offers only fabrics that are protective for the life of the garment…either inherently or via special fiber treatment. In the case of FR treated cotton, certain detergents are harmful to the FR treatment. While these harmful detergents are not found in our Industrial Wash formulas, this makes a great case for a fully managed uniform service from UniFirst. In the case of home washing, our inherent FR fabrics have no home washing concerns.
