The jobs you do are some of the toughest and dirtiest, but that doesn’t stop you from getting the job done. Your FR clothing works just as hard and at the end of the day you and your clothes are fitly. Before you toss your FR clothes in the hamper or on the floor, here are a few tips on proper laundering methods to extend the life of your favorite jacket.
FR clothing doesn't have to be industially laundered, it can be washed in a normal or cotton cycle in a low to medium temperature. Turn the FR garments inside out and separate them from other non FR clothing, as fibers can be transferred and compromise the FR protection. Use any typical detergent and do not use bleach, it wears the FR polymer protection. Stay away from starch, fabric softener and other laundry additives that can coat the fabric. Tumble dry for 20 minutes then hang to dry if the garment is still wet. This will minimize shrinkage. Following these easy steps will guarantee you garment to last for years
