Discover Workwear for elderly care!

Everyday working life in elderly care is challenging and exhausting. It calls for workwear that effortlessly keeps up with every step of the job, offers maximum comfort and at the same time looks thoroughly professional. The Karlowsky elderly care collection has been specially developed for the high demands of everyday nursing. It combines functionality, hard-wearing quality and a modern design so that you can concentrate fully on what really matters: the well-being of people.

In care professions, employees bear a great deal of responsibility, which is why choosing the right elderly care workwear plays a central role. Karlowsky’s professional work uniforms offer a comprehensive range for this purpose that is precisely tailored to the needs of elderly care staff. In all activities, the workwear (elderly care) protects against everyday hazards and, thanks to robust materials, ensures uncomplicated washing at high temperatures.

The Karlowsky product range for elderly care

The Karlowsky range offers the right textile solution for every task in everyday nursing. The heart of the collection is formed by the versatile tunics and slip-on tunics. While slip-on tunics are particularly convincing because they can be pulled on quickly without annoying buttons, models with press studs offer flexible handling and often modern, fitted cuts for women. What they all have in common are the well-thought-out, large side pockets, which offer plenty of space for pagers, pens and disinfectant.

To match, the pants provide the necessary comfort during long shifts. Anyone who is on their feet all day benefits from pants with an elasticated waistband that fit optimally with every movement and do not pinch even when bending or lifting. Thanks to robust fabrics , they effortlessly withstand the constant friction of everyday use and are available in various fits, from straight cuts to modern slim-fit variants.

For facilities that value a particularly approachable and family-like appearance, polo shirts and T-shirts offer a sporty alternative to the classic tunic. Karlowsky’s high-quality cotton blends retain their shape and colour even at high washing temperatures, which makes them ideal for giving different residential areas a fresh, colour-coded structure.

The range is complemented by functional and comfortable shoes that have been developed specifically for the extreme walking demands of everyday nursing. As elderly care workers spend many hours at a time on their feet, the focus here is on ergonomic wearing comfort. Karlowsky shoes offer optimal cushioning that noticeably relieves the joints and back. Equipped with slip-resistant soles, they ensure a secure footing even on wet and freshly mopped floors. In addition, the materials are particularly easy-care, liquid-repellent and can be cleaned and disinfected effortlessly in order to meet the strict hygiene requirements in elderly care at all times. Elastic inserts guarantee a perfect hold and quick putting on and taking off.

The employer’s responsibility: safety and regulations for nurses and carers

When procuring new workwear, employers in elderly care face a major task. The chosen elderly care workwear must not only meet the wishes of the care staff, but also comply with legal requirements. In many cases, classic work uniforms overlap with the requirements for protective clothing in order to protect nursing staff from infections or biological hazards during certain activities. Karlowsky combines this essential protection with a modern design. This gives employees in care facilities the security they need for their daily work with people.

Easy care & hygiene: tips for washing Karlowsky workwear (elderly care)

In elderly care and in the medical sector, hygiene is the top priority. Because the clothing of elderly care workers comes into contact with germs, disinfectants and stains every day, the correct care and washing of the textiles is crucial for safety and hard-wearing quality.

High washing temperatures for maximum hygiene

Most Karlowsky tunics, pants and shirts for the care sector have been developed specifically for the extreme demands of industrial laundering and frequent washing. Many models can be machine-washed without any problems at 60 °C or even 95 °C (boil-proof). This ensures that bacteria, viruses and stubborn dirt are reliably removed .

Colourfastness and shape retention

A major advantage of the high-quality material blends (often a well-thought-out mix of cotton and polyester) is their high colourfastness. Even after countless wash cycles at high temperatures , the coloured tunics and shirts retain their brilliance and do not shrink. This ensures that the entire team maintains a well-groomed and professional appearance over the long term .

Tips for daily practice in care facilities:

• Sort by type: Always wash white work uniforms separately from coloured items to avoid greying.
• Check pockets: All pockets should be emptied before the wash cycle – ballpoint pens or disinfectant bottles can cause stains or damage the material.
• Gentle drying: Many of our products are suitable for tumble drying. Briefly pre-drying in the tumble dryer also reduces creasing and saves valuable time when ironing.
• Easy-care accessories: Complementary items such as aprons or overlap smock tops can also be cleaned quickly and easily, so that they are ready for use again for the next shift in no time.

Certifications and tests in our range

Various certifications and tests are available for selected products in our range. These include, among others, the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), the Grüner Knopf (Green Button) and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. The certifications and tests mentioned do not apply equally to all products in our range, but always only to the specific item.
