Maintenance of intervention clothing
•Maintain intervention clothing only in professional laundries or equipment supplied by a
professional manufacturer of washing and drying machines in your own departments.
•We strictly discourage washing, drying and other maintenance in domestic conditions using
conventional household washing machines.
•Observe recommended maintenance symbols on labels and in producer´s manual instructions
•When using the supplied equipment from a professional technical manufacturer, always use
installed maintenance programs depending on the sort of soiling of the clothing. We
recommend setting different maintenance according to the level of soiling, e.g. heavily soiled,
moderately soiled or gentle washing and drying
•In case of maintenance in professional laundry, request the setting of program for firefighting
clothing from a professional technician.
•The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by a wrong maintenance using your own
equipment or in a professional laundry
When an intervention protective garment is contaminated by petroleum oils, paints, and
biological substances (proteins, blood etc.), hereinafter only contaminants, decontamination
must be carried out. Depending on volume of soil and types of contaminants a maintenance
must be carried out according to internal regulations of users, strictly according to supplier of
washing equipment.
