How to Clean Flame-Resistant Clothing
- 1). Clean your flame-resistant clothing on a regular basis, advises Aramark.com, as being heavily soiled can reduce a garment's flame-resistant capability.
- 2). Wash your flame-resistant clothing only with other flame-resistant clothing. You should never wash flame-resistant material with non-flame-resistant laundry, as non-flame-resistant fibers could attach themselves to the flame-resistant materials and thus reduce their protective properties.
- 3). Wash flame-resistant items in your regular laundry detergent as long as it does not have a bleach additive. Most flame-resistant clothing can be washed in warm or cold water, but check the label to be certain.
- 4). Remove stains by using your regular stain-removal formula. Pre-treat heavily soiled or stained clothing and soak as you would any other clothing item.
