You may have many questions about flame-retardant clothing and how to properly care for and maintain them. We will provide general guidelines on how to clean flame-retardant clothing, including when to use industrial cleaning or home cleaning.
Industrial cleaning is an effective method for cleaning work clothes, aprons, and other equipment. They can remove oil stains, metal fillers, and dust, providing safe and clean equipment for any industry. Home laundry is a safe, cost-effective alternative to industrial laundry.
The maintenance of flame-retardant work clothes, especially when CE certified as personal protective equipment, is more commonly assigned to industrial laundries rather than home laundries, as laundries ensure that the maintenance of work clothes is consistent with the type of clothing, thereby ensuring that the performance characteristics of the clothing declared by the manufacturer are maintained.

Maintenance of inherently flame-retardant and post-finished flame-retardant clothing
Clothing made of inherently flame-retardant fibers has natural flame retardancy, and post-treatment flame-retardant clothing is usually made of flame-retardant fabrics that have undergone flame-retardant processing. Both types of flame-retardant clothing can be subjected to industrial cleaning and can maintain flame-retardant properties throughout the lifespan of the clothing, following the correct care instructions and procedures.
Fire retardant clothing washing guide
We recommend that you always follow the instructions on the clothing label. The main purpose of washing instructions is to help keep clothes clean, minimize shrinkage, extend service life, and provide guidance on what to avoid. If you want to do your laundry, we also provide the following clothing care and maintenance suggestions:
Wash separately from nonflame retardant clothing, as the fuzz on these clothes may affect their flame retardancy.
Do not use chlorine bleach as it will not damage flame retardancy, but may shorten the service life of the clothing.
Clothes with oily or oily stains can be pre-treated and cleaned in hot water (up to 60 ° C), and dry cleaning may be more effective for such stains.
This type of fabric dries quickly. To achieve the lowest shrinkage rate, do not over-dry.
The drying temperature should not exceed 80 ° C.
Only use detergents, not soap, as soap may leave deposits on the fabric, which can affect flame retardancy.
It is not recommended to use fabric softeners, as they may not reduce the flame retardancy of the fabric, but may lead to residual accumulation and ultimately become a potential hazard.
Use a nonironing circulation drum for drying.
