HYDROGEN PEROXIDE BLEACH Hydrogen peroxide, which is an oxygen bleach, must not be used on garments made with UltraSoft®, UltraSoft AC® and Indura® fabrics, either separately or in de-tergents. The presence of metals with hydro-gen peroxide can adversely affect the fl ame resistance of the fabric.SOAPS The use of soaps (salts of fatty acids) is not recommended for laundering garments constructed of UltraSoft®, UltraSoft AC® and Indura® fabrics. Soaps can form insoluble scums with hard water that are deposited on the fabric. Soap scums may be flammable, and can adversely affect the thermal protection performance of the garment if they burn.Washing/Drying Procedures It is recommended that UltraSoft®, UltraSoft AC® and Indura® fabrics be washed and dried inside out. This will minimize surface abrasion and aid in maintaining the surface appearance of garments constructed of UltraSoft®, UltraSoft AC® and Indura® fabrics.SORTINGGarments made with UltraSoft®,UltraSoft AC® and Indura® fabrics should be sorted by color — light colors washed with light colors and dark with dark — to avoid dye transfer. UltraSoft®, UltraSoft AC® and Indura®fabrics should be washed with other UltraSoft® and Indura® fabrics. PRETREATING Stains, as well as deep soil lines on the collars and cuffs of garments, are more readily removed if pretreated. Stains should be pretreated at the earliest opportunity and suffi cient time allowed for the pretreatment material to penetrate and loosen the soil. The heavily soiled or stained areas should be rubbed with a full-strength, heavy-duty liquid detergent or any off-the-shelf laundry pretreatment product. Such pretreatment products should not contain bleach or hydrogen peroxide, either separately or in combination with detergent.LOAD SIZE When laundering garments constructed of UltraSoft®, UltraSoft AC® and Indura® fabrics, it is important not to overload the machine. To ensure a cleaner wash and avoid setting wash wrinkles, the load size must permit clothes to move freely through the wash water and rinse cycle. Regardless of the machine’s rated capacity in pounds, bulk — not weight — should be the limiting factor.WASH TEMPERATUREHeavily soiled garments made with UltraSoft®, UltraSoft AC® and Indura® fabrics should be washed using the “hot” water temperature setting. Garments with lesser degrees of soil can be laundered with lower water temperatures, which also will be benefi cial in retaining garment color.
