Kevlar?

[Sonny]

Hello all,
Are there any secrets out there for washing kevlars? Is machine washing ok? Dryer??
Thanks,
Sonny

Pat from SRP will have to give us the technicals, but in my opinion the washer and dryer will beat up the material. I just use a hose and a bucket of Simple Green and water and scrub the heck out of 'em with a stiff long bristle brush. Then let them air dry in the shade and throw a dryer sheet in the bag with your gear between races. This system will have you smelling Snuggle fresh! Greg

I wonder if I sent them to the dry cleaner if they would come back like new?

Kevlars

I just bought new Kevlars, someone from both Lifeline and Security,should address this cleaning issue. Can Kevlar be dry-cleaned?? What are you to use on your life jacket ??

Clean 'em

Hi Steve,

All you have to do is ask Best way to clean your suit or your lifejacket is with Oxy-Clean. You can get either the spray form or the powder. Put it in a big sink or bathtub and let it soak for a few hrs...use a nylon scrub brush and plenty of elbow grease for the stains or stubborn spots.

You'll be amazed how quickly it will clean up.
