Lanyards are useful accessories frequently used in many different organizations and events. However, lanyards, like other clothing and accessories, require regular maintenance and cleaning. Here are some important tips for maintaining and cleaning lanyards:
Regular Checks
Inspect your lanyards regularly. Check the material and attachment points of the lanyard for any signs of wear, tear or damage. If a damaged lanyard is used, this may pose a safety risk.
Stain Cleaning
Lanyards run the risk of staining over time. You can use a mild detergent or soapy water to remove stains. Soak the lanyard in soapy water and rub gently. Then rinse with clean water and let dry thoroughly.
Machine Wash
You can wash most polyester lanyards in the washing machine. However, to avoid damaging the print on the lanyard or the additional parts, first check the labels and use a gentle washing program. Also, don't forget to remove any metal or plastic accessories.
Drying Process
Be careful not to expose the lanyards to direct sunlight or high heat, as this may cause colors to fade or damage the materials. Leave the lanyards to dry in the shade or in the air.
Chemical Cleaning Products
Be careful when using chemical cleaning products to remove heavy stains. Such products may damage the material of the lanyard or cause the print to fade. Always use cleaning products according to manufacturer recommendations.
Storage
Store lanyards in a clean and dry place. If you are not going to use the lanyards for a long time, storing them in a breathable bag or box prevents dust and contamination.
Change Frequently
If your lanyards are used frequently or are starting to wear out, consider replacing them with new lanyards. For your safety, avoid using damaged or worn lanyards.
Maintenance and cleaning of lanyards is important to ensure their longevity and maintain a clean and professional appearance. These tips will help your lanyards last longer.
