Quick answer: Most UK cleaning teams wear a branded tabard or polo shirt, dark work trousers and a fleece or softshell for outdoor and early-morning work. CentralCustom embroiders or prints your logo on each item, with no minimum order, a free digital proof before production, and dispatch typically 7–14 working days after you approve the proof.
What we supply for cleaning teams
- Pocket tabards – the classic cleaning uniform. Our tabards go over the head, fasten at the side with adjustable studs and have a large front patch pocket for cloths and gloves. The standard pocket tabard comes in 18 colours; a long-length version gives more coverage for heavier work.
- Polo shirts – smart, hard-wearing and easy to wash. Choose from our polo shirt range and add an embroidered logo on the left chest. Ideal for office and commercial cleaning where staff are seen by clients.
- Tunics – wrap-around and button tunics from our tunics collection suit housekeeping, care-home domestic staff and hotel teams.
- Trousers and outer layers – work trousers, fleeces and gilets for teams who start early, work outdoors or move between sites.
- Aprons – bib and waist aprons for kitchen deep-cleans and catering-adjacent work.

Building a cleaning uniform pack
A sensible starting kit for each cleaner is two or three tops (tabards or polos) so there is always a clean one while another is in the wash, one pair of work trousers, and one warm layer for the colder months. Put your logo on the left chest of every top, and consider your company name or phone number across the back of tabards for vans-and-doorsteps visibility. Our guide to building a workwear pack for new starters walks through quantities in more detail, and our guide to what cleaners should wear compares tabards, polos and tunics side by side.
Cleaning uniforms: frequently asked questions
What uniform do cleaners wear?
In the UK most cleaners wear a tabard or polo shirt with dark trousers. Tabards are popular because they go over everyday clothes and protect them from splashes; polos look smarter for office and client-facing work. Care-home and hotel housekeeping staff often wear tunics.
Can you put our logo on tabards?
Yes. We embroider or print logos and text on tabards, polos, tunics, fleeces and aprons. Left-chest embroidery is the most common choice for tabards; the large front pocket is best left clear.
Is there a minimum order for cleaning uniforms?
No. There is no minimum order, so you can order for a single new starter and add to it as your team grows.
How long does it take?
Orders are typically dispatched 7–14 working days after you approve your free digital proof.
Embroidery or print – which is better for cleaning uniforms?
Embroidery generally lasts longest on garments that are washed frequently, which is why we recommend it for tabards and polos. Print is a good option for larger back designs. Follow our washing guide for embroidered and printed workwear to keep logos looking sharp.
Can I claim tax relief for washing my cleaning uniform?
Employees who have to wash, repair or replace a uniform themselves can usually claim a flat-rate expense deduction from HMRC. Amounts vary by job, so check the current rules on GOV.UK or with your accountant.
