Its funny Shaun its not until you start wearing it that you GET it.

Looking back I worked for some very high end clients wearing a polo shirt and jeans, I looked scruffy, and those clients dont want that. I was wrong.

If you want to be taken seriously. its shirt (maybe tie too) and trousers, without a shadow of doubt.

[Ian Rochester]

Wellies!!!

I quite like the idea of Crocs for indoors, we wear slip on trainers for indoors.

As for the rest of the outfit, we get it all from www.xamax.co.uk

Recently changed from navy colours to
Grey logo'd polo shirts
Black logo'd sweat shirts and fleeces
Black trousers (primark)

I don't think I'd like to wear shirt and tie to do manual work in, especially when it's a warm day.  We get a lot of positive comments from clients about our attire, the girls on our commercial and domestic cleaning wear white logo'd polo's, black trousers (primark) and black logo'd tabbards.

all my staff wear shirts ties and trusers all in blue to macth the inside of the vans and if i ever caught a member of staff without there tie on then they would be signing on the day after look smart feel smart were cleaners not bin men

Can't be working very hard if your wearing trousers and shirt and tie , surely that's not suitable.
Sometimes I come out of an house or office drenched in sweat.
Old folks houses the worst, they have heating on in summer.
This year was my first Summer full time and somedays, even though it wasn't the best Summer, I went thruogh 3 tee shirts.
Collar and tie, no thanks.

I thought along the shirt and tie image but ive just done 8 years booted and suited so just fancied the casual look , never know that could change.

[HQCS (John Kastrian)]

Logo'd polo and clean jeans or work trousers,in the heat of the summer shorts.
Why turn up to clean someone's house dressed as though you are going to a wedding or funeral?
If a builder arrived at your house dressed in a 3 piece suit (not suite)you would not think he is appropriately dressed to do any work. 
Customers are not bothered about your attire as long as it is clean and presentable,and would expect you to wear suitable clothing for the job in hand.
If you only clean carpets for a living then you may get away without getting too dirty,but those of us who also carry out general house cleans would look and feel stupid crawling around behind someones minging cooker dressed in a suit.-John

[Straker Cleaning]

Well put ..... never understood turning up to clean anything whilst wearing shirt and trousers or even a tie    Is that not an H&S issue anyway

When i turn up, my attire is corporate, clean and smart  (renew regularly) and at least i am clean shaven and there is never a hair out of place  :

One of the top earning guys, Dave Liahona, does not waer shirt and tie - in fact very vey casual.

I personally like to be smart but ready to work.
Black trousers (£15 Matalan), white or grey polo shirt (not logo yet), black zip up jacket.
Change shoes to white soled once working in house.

Tried wearing a "proper" collared shirt but fed up of tucking it into my trousers when working so went back to polp shirt worn on the outside of trousers.

I wouldnt expect a builder to wear the type of clothes I do - his job is totally different.

[Doctor Carpet (Ret'd)]

never a hair out of place  :

(I especially think this emoticon is appropriate)

[sherco]

Just found www.polo-shirts.co.uk seem quite cheap for work ware, polo, tee shirts, fleeces etc.

[Joe H]

Thanks Sherco - good link.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I have bought the discount ones before and they are itchy and don't last as long.

I personally would buy good quality ones from M&S (20% off atm) and get them embroided yourself, they wash and iron better.

iron???
indoor maiden and an air mover does the trick.
