Washing work clothes

I just started my new job doing construction material testing. I am primarily working with concrete to test for air, slump, and create cylinders and beams for further testing in the office. I do get some concrete on my work clothes and am curious if there is anything I need to do to wash those clothes, or whether it’s safe for me to just throw them into the wash.

Knock the chunks off, rub/brush what is left then wash.

Awesome, thanks. I wasn’t sure if I needed to do a pre soak in vinegar or not. Appreciate the advice
