9:1 Cleaning

•  Wash outside of earmuffs only. Use mild soap and lukewarm water. 

  Do not immerse in water.

•  Do not clean with solvents such as alcohol or acetone, or with waterless 

  hand cleaners or products containing lanolin.

•  Inspect earmuffs regularly for cracked or worn parts, especially the cushions.  

  Replace as needed. 3M recommends replacing foam liners and cushions at least  

  twice a year in order to maintain acceptable noise reduction, hygiene and comfort.
