In a large scale laundry, how do you keep apron strings from tangling?

Question

I remember reading about a product you would put in the dryer with your aprons to alleviate this. We do not have the luxury of tying the strings prior to drying

Answer 1

tie them in one knot in the middle first. You can also tie several together. This is what I do when I wash shoelaces.

Answer 2

I usually have 2 or 3 aprons in a wash. I put each apron into its own string bag, like onions and oranges sometimes come in. This keeps each apron separate and keeps the strings from tangling. It also works for dresses with waist ties.

Answer 3

Some shops recommend using wooden dowels, which are slid into the string pocket. The wood doesn't affect the apron during the wash.

Today, most chef aprons are wrinkle-free and also come equipped with several front pockets to stock small essential kitchen tools such as knives, forks, spoons, and can openers. Most of them also have side slits through which the chef has easy access to internal pant pockets, as well as tangle-free strings to tie-up the apron.

Answer 4

can u fold them strings inside first?
use safety pin instead of tying.

Answer 5

You may want to consider hand washing them.

Answer 6

wrap then with a rubber band.
