How often should work clothes worn to apply pesticides be laundered?

Work clothes worn for pesticide applications need to be laundered after each day's use. This is essential for ensuring the safety of both the applicator and the environment. Pesticides can remain on clothing fibers and can pose a risk of skin exposure or contamination to the wearer and others if the clothes are not cleaned properly. Regular laundering after daily use helps to minimize these risks and maintains proper safety and hygiene standards in pest control operations.

Clothing that is visibly dirty may still harbor pesticide residues even if it does not appear so, which is why relying solely on visual indicators is not sufficient. Additionally, waiting for longer intervals, such as once a week or monthly, can significantly increase the likelihood of exposure and can compromise safety. Regular laundering safeguards against these potential hazards.
