When should work clothes worn during pesticide application be laundered?

Work clothes worn during pesticide application should be laundered after every use to ensure safety and reduce the risk of pesticide exposure. This practice is crucial because pesticide residues can remain on clothing after application, posing a potential health risk to the wearer and others. Regular laundering helps to effectively remove these residues, minimizing any chance of skin contact or inhalation when the clothing is worn again.

Washing clothing after each use also contributes to personal hygiene and prevents contamination of other clothing or surfaces in the home. It’s important for individuals involved in pesticide application to prioritize health and safety measures, including the proper cleaning of protective equipment and clothing used during the application process.
