Trying to Keep Your Chef Coat White and Pristine: A Journey
(In progress rn so idk if this is actually gonna fix my jacket lmaoooooo)
Carbon stains and well water are two of a white chef coat/jacket wearer's nightmares, especially when no one in the department knows how to get rid of it and the solution really seems to be "get a new one" like those fuckers aren't expensive.

Carbon stains for the sweetly naive are those black charcoal-like stains that get on your coat because some idiot didn't feel like scrubbing the bottom of the pot or no one knows when the last time the range top got a good scrub down. Well water or any mineral-heavy water in general sucks because over time it turns your coat dingy gray.
As far as general maintenance goes you use whatever stain remover and pray that it comes out first try (it won't) or you foolishly ignore the tag that screams don't bleach me (and you turn your coat a weird yellow or discolor the patches and script on it)
Tonight a bitch is fed up, and with the help of Oxyclean (not the purple one), a bar of Fels Naptha, and a bucket this fucking jacket is going to look as pretty as the day I got it.
