CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR DRIVING SUIT

Before wearing any suit for the first time, it is imperative to dry clean or wash suit to insure it’s fire rating. During manufacturing of the materials, chemical residue, starch, dyes and contaminates are introduced.  Failure to clean, first may cause skin rash, itching, color transfer and reduce fire protection. After each use, suit should be cleaned following the below instructions and stored in a lint-free container or bag.

Washing Suit:  Hand wash in cool water, using only Woolite, is recommended. Machine washing on gentle cycle only and Cool cycle spin drying is acceptable. We do recommend hang drying on a wooden hanger with a towel wrapped around the hanger to simulate shoulders.

Dry Cleaning: If you choose to have it dry-cleaned , make sure the cleaner regularly changes cleaning solution and to go light on the cleaning solution. For washing or cleaning, suit should be turned inside out and placed in a nylon net bag to prevent seam stress and material separation from agitation. Never Use Bleach or Phosphte detergents on any fire suit. Do Not Iron or use Steam Pressers.

Avoid contact under all conditions with grease, oil or solvents. Any stains lower fire protection ratings significantly.  When not in use or use not need for a long period of time, keep out of sunlight to prevent fading. This will give you suit many years of color-bright service. Security Race Products (SRP) does not guarantee against color fade, nor will the original fabric manufacturer.  Color life is solely dependent upon sunlight (ultra-violet rays) exposure and/or cleaning procedures and suit care.
