Cleaning

2. Wash the protective clothing in accordance with the label.
Contaminated protective clothing requires special cleaning:
In case of contamination from oil, grease, fuel or other harmful sub-
stances, use chemical or dry cleaning methods.
In case of contamination from body fluids or other pathogenic con-
tamination, clean with disinfectant.
3. Dry the protective clothing in accordance with the label.
4. Iron the protective clothing in accordance with the label.
Re-impregnation
Protective clothing has to be re-impregnated periodically using a fluorocarbon res-
in-based treatment because dirt, water and chemical resistance properties deteriorate
with use.
The frequency of re-impregnation depends on the intensity of use of the clothing.
Re-impregnation is usually advisable and necessary after 3
–
5 washing and drying cy-
cles.
1. Check the impregnation with a spray test. If the water is absorbed by the fabric and
does not drip off, re-apply the impregnation. Re-impregnate chemically cleaned
protective clothing after each cleaning cycle.
Refer to the respective product instructions for information on the care
of accessories.
