does anyone use an apron when cleaning and cooking

hethmar

My goodness, only just found this thread and Im amazed Im not the only one who has a thing for retro style aprons. I have a lovely Cath Kidston one and I got a nice cream with pink roses one on amazon but Id like more. Does anyone know a good site for buying them please - new, but 40/50s style, I want to wear them, not just collect.

Many thanks.

I always wear an apron. Because I'm a messy beast lol. But got a lovely rose covered one in tk maxx for £2.99

I wear a blue striped butcher style apron for cleaning and have a selection for kitchen use - don't wear plastic aproms as find splashes just drip down and off onto floor.

I always wear an apron now. I am a bit of a bleach fiend and ended up with bleach splashes on my clothes.
Nothing special tho' - an ordinary cotton one.

I wear aprons all the time,they keep me dry and stain free. Also because i'm a lazy !!!!!! and i keep my bits and bobs(mobile,housephone,sweets,)with me all the time.

It is a bit of a double edged sword, I have found that when wearing cotton apron liquids just soak straight through and when wearing a plastic one liquids run off, you can't win. At the moment I use a plastic apron, for me I prefer to be able to just clean with a sponge rather than having to wash it then dry it.
I guess cotton ones are a bit are bit more comfortable to wear but to be honest I have got used to wearing a plastic one now.

I personally hate washing so pvc / plastic aprons rule the way for me. I have a couple of old cotton ones somewhere but I never wear them. I don't find pvc aprons at all uncomfortable to wear, I am quite happy to wear mine all day if necessary. I always sponge it down after I take it off so that is nice and clean the next time I come to wear it.

In my job it has to be a plastic apron, I am a hairdresser so chemicals such as hair dye, bleaches and perm lotions would just soak straight through a cotton apron and ruin my clothes underneath. I wear my apron all day everyday when I am at work, never feel uncomfortable in it though, infact I feel quite naked without it on

I have noticed recently that my hairdresser tends to wear a plastic apron all the time now even when I just go in for a cut and blow. When I asked why she had her apron on she just said that she prefered wearing it all the time rather tahn taking it on and off 3 or 4 time a day

I always wear an apron when cooking - wear a different one for cleaning - can't imagine life without them!
