What are out of service garments?

Out of service garments refer specifically to those items that have been returned to the service provider for cleaning, grading, and storage. This means that these garments are temporarily not in circulation for use, as they are undergoing a maintenance process to ensure they meet quality and hygiene standards before being made available again.

This return process is essential as it ensures that garments are maintained in good condition, and it allows for proper inspection and grading to determine if the garment is fit for future use or if it requires repair or replacement. Understanding this concept is crucial for a Sales Representative in providing excellent customer service and maintaining the quality of the garment programs offered.

The other options describe different situations related to garments but do not align with the specific definition of out of service garments. For instance, garments that are sold out are no longer available for purchase, garments awaiting delivery are still in transit, and defective garments indicate a quality issue but do not necessarily mean they are out of service for maintenance purposes.
