I am wondering what everyone wears on the job clean.  I know the chlorine is hard on anything but I would like to have a professional look, logos on cloths are a plus but you dont want then all spotted by the sauce.

 Poly/cotton mix. More poly. Dickies.

 

Hair net, surgical gloves, 65+% Polyester and McDonalds Industrial grease indestructible work shoes. 

 

I thought he was kidding on the hair net and gloves. David your asking some good questions, have you put any thought into becoming a premium member? This way it's not like your just taking information from these people without supporting them and this site.

If paying the $100 makes you a premium member that check is in the mail.  I plan on only asking and giving pertinent info.  Don't have the time to post things that are unproductive, silly, argumentative, or random posts. 

 

I am in this business to make money.

 

Poly/cotton blend 50/50,60/40, 65/35 up to 100% microfiber breathes and wicks well.

White is best! As mentioned Dickies has a good blend and holds up well!! Wal-mart throw-away sneekers work well... lotsa other options depending on usage/applications...

You mention uniform image...well nobody does uniform image either direct purchase or a rental program better that a uniform company. Supply, washing, repairs, upgrades of same quality product you want for a budgetable price weekly. 

I would suggest a light-weight poly/cotton jumpsuit [white] company logo design, maybe polos for owner or sales etc . Tons of options and pricing.. Some companies offer logos, no upfront or setup charges, sizing...3,4,5,7 changes a week...

Shop these guys as you can get a great deal or you can get stuck bad...

I spent 25 years in that industry... 

hope this "heps you"

For me, it hasn't been a problem.. The only time I ever had a problem was when I first started cleaning and forgot my gloves one day and my hands were drenched with my mix a lot (gutters were packed, it was a mess). Whenever something gets on my legs (doesn't happen usually), it does not affect me at all and I just wash it off as soon as possible.

The gloves are a good idea.  I don't get much sh on my hands when cleaning a roof but I do when I mix the juice.  I get more sh on my hands when I pressure wash a house.  After you soap and before you start to rinse, the soap in the wand leaks out.
