🧺 Care
The 190 g/m² 65/35 blend withstands frequent high-temperature washing.
White can take diluted bleach on grease stains; black cannot.
Barely needs ironing if hung up straight after spinning.
💡 Tip: compare fabric weights before buying: 112 g/m² (405201), 175 (405205) and 190 (this one). In the kitchen, fabric weight means thermal protection against splashes and service life against washing. For a brigade that washes daily, 190 g/m² works out cheaper in the long run, even if the unit price is higher.
