- Comment on I want to donate old work shirts, but I don't want people to be mistaken for employees there. How do I remove the logos? 3 months ago:
A lot of companies require branded work wear to be returned or destroyed to stop people impersonating their employees. It may not seem like a big deal but a bad actor could use it in any number of ways.
Imagine some one used a branded work shirt to gain access to your granny’s house when she thought they were from a company or service they trusted etc.
Certainly the police and other emergency services won’t want their uniforms in the wrong hands.
In my view it might seem like wastage but there are good reasons to destroy these clothing items, I guess it depends what business you’re in.
- Comment on what's your experience washing sneakers in the washing machine? 4 months ago:
Remove insoles, place in old pillow case, zip tie the pillow case shut, put on a daily short wash probably about an hour at 30 degrees, small amount of detergent and white vinegar in the fabric softener tray, dry in sun or on radiator. Never fails.
