Loading ...Cleaning Your Gear
Fall protection can get dirty. It just happens, and that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you. So I want you to stop beating yourself up. Just don’t put your gear in the washing machine. Unless you want to get picked up for fall protection homicide.
So, what can you do to clean up your equipment for your next hot date job? Well here are a few tips…
DO NOT put your crap in the washing machine!
Nylon or Polyester Fabrics (Harnesses & Lanyards)
Remove all surface dirt with a sponge dampened in plain water. Squeeze the sponge dry. Dip the sponge in a mild solution of water and commercial soap or detergent. Work up a thick lather with a vigorous back and forth motion; then wipe with a clean cloth. Hang freely to dry, but away from excessive heat.
Housing (Retractables)
Periodically clean the unit using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Towel dry.
Drying Your Gear (Everything)
Equipment should dry thoroughly without close exposure to heat, steam or long periods of sunlight.
Hopefully, this gave you a couple of ideas… You no longer have to be the slob on the job, but don’t use a washing machine please.
