Recommended cleaning procedures
If trousers are contaminated by acid splash they should be drenched in a neutralising bath with a pH value of 9 for
approximately 10 minutes. The recommended neutraliser is a solution of bicarbonate of soda and water (6% bicarbonate
of soda W/V). If contaminated with an alkali, the alkali should be removed by drenching in clean water for approximately
10 minutes.
After decontamination the outer surfaces of the trousers should be wiped with a sponge using a diluted solution of
Citrikleen and warm water (temperature not exceeding 50°C). Mix one part Citrikleen to 19 parts water, i.e. 5% solution.
Never use Citrikleen in neat form as this will cause damage to the garment materials. After wiping with the diluted Citrikleen
solution the trousers should be rinsed with cold water.
Limited light mechanical washing can be carried out using a 5% Citrikleen solution with a water temperature not
exceeding 30°C. Note: excessive or hard mechanical washing could reduce the lifespan and level of protection
off ered by your garment.
Trousers should be allowed to dry naturally or hung in a drying cabinet or warm room with a temperature not exceeding
30°C.
Garments used by more than one person must be cleaned, inspected and sanitised after each use; if not cleaned
contamination may cause illness or disease.
Sanitise the garment by cleaning as described above or by liberally applying Synodor to the inside surface of the
fabric.
