We Recognize Armed Forces Day

Armed Forces Day was created to establish a holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country. In the United States, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May, which means this year it is on May 16.

At Service Uniform, we respect all individuals in the armed forces. Our services reach all over the Colorado Front Range, including Colorado Springs, where we share a community and home with individuals from the United States Air Force Academy. Our employees down in Colorado Springs speak highly of the Air Force Academy and the individuals we see from the campus (we can’t help but spot their uniforms!). This month, for Armed Forces Day, we salute the individuals in our home state of Colorado, including but not limited to, those in the Air Force Academy.

This year, take time to say thank you to those who serve. Almost everyone knows someone who is currently serving, and if you look around you’ll spot uniforms of active military personnel almost everywhere. Military uniforms are perfect for identification but they are also an element of a large entity which is the Armed Forces. Uniforms give a strong sense of pride and draw respect for those in the Armed Forces, and we’re sure you’ll see a lot of participants this month.

April Showers Bring… Mud

Did you know that .25 pounds of dirt and debris per 1,000 people PER DAY are tracked into commercial buildings during dry weather conditions? Imagine what wet weather conditions bring in through the front door. Floor mats are a great way to catch all that dirt that employees and customers track through the door. Service Uniform carries a variety of floor mats that are perfect for your business.

If you’re not sure about adding floor mats to your uniform rental program, try taking this into consideration – in just the first three feet of a typical floor mat, 30% of the dirt, dust and grime are captured. In the average 15-foot commercial matting, 80-90% of the debris tracked into the building is contained within the mat. Simply put, floor mats at the entrance of your building prevent a lot of dirt from entering the building. And here’s another tip – a floor mat is much easier to clean than the entire floor itself.

We’re all excited that spring is here, but dirty floors can dampen the mood in any commercial building. Floor mat rental service from Service Uniform provides routine cleaning and floor mat replacement for your company. Contact us today and ask us about our floor mat services.

Our Uniforms are Fragrance Free!

The human sense of smell can be pretty powerful thing. Just think about it: a slight whiff of something can trigger a powerful memory. The smell of lavender can remind you of a summer day out in the garden with your mother. Old Spice can trigger a fond memory of your grandfather… Fragrances are powerful, but sometimes they can be misplaced – like at work.

What may smell sweet and wonderful to you may cause another person to wrinkle up their nose. Not so much because of the smell but for other reasons, like allergies. According to a study done by the University of West Georgia, as many as 30 percent of the people surveyed said they found scented products irritating. Once again, their irritation didn’t have so much to do with the smell, but with the affect the scented products had on their skin. Those with asthma or chemical sensitivities can find strong scents particularly problematic due to allergy-like symptoms. It’s because of these allergies and sensitivities that many companies include in their dress code: No perfume or cologne!

At Service Uniform, we know that some of our customers can’t wear clothing that is covered in any scented products, including laundry detergent. Our uniforms are cleaned with a non-scented, fragrant-free cleaner that is safe for all skin types. Although we love the smell of fresh spring rain, you won’t find the scent lingering on your uniforms.

The Strength of a Name

Do you ever think about how much fun it would be to be a different person for a day? Instead of getting up and going through your normal routine, for one day you could do everything differently. When presented with this question, most people started their day as a different person by changing their name. Why? Because your name is key to your identity.

As uniform people, we know how important a name can be for identity, which is why we offer customizable name tags. If you think walking around with a new name is powerful, wait until you see what happens when you have your real name sewn onto your garments. When it comes to employee uniforms, identity is something powerful that all companies need. Even if your employees want to be someone else for a day, when they put on that uniform with your company logo and their name tag, they can comfortably settle into the identity they already have.

If you could change your name for a day, what would you change it to? Would you do something low-key like Joe Smith, or go unique with a name like Dante Knickerpoodle (we had fun coming up with that one). Pick your new name and share with us on our Facebook page.
