Cleaning and Storage
If the respirator is to be used for more than one shift it should
be cleaned at the end of each shift and stored between shifts
in the original packaging. To clean the respirator, the faceseal
should be wiped with a cloth moistened in warm soapy water
(the water temperature should be below 40°C) and dried at room
temperature. The product MUST NOT be immersed in water
during cleaning. Alternatively, faceseal may be cleaned using the
3M™ 105 Face Seal Cleaner. Always check that the product has
not exceeded the use by date before use.
Respiratory Protection is only effective if it is correctly selected,
fitted and worn throughout the time when the wearer is exposed
to respiratory contaminants.
3M offers advice on the selection of products, and training in the
correct fitting and usage.
