Best practices regarding the proper home laundry for Westex® FR Fabrics…
- Wash FR Clothing separate from other non FR garments
- Don’t wash in hot temperatures – best results are typically cold to warm temperatures
- Don’t use bleach or commercial detergents containing bleach
- Don’t use fabric softeners in either the wash cycle or drying cycle
- During the initial few laundry cycles the FR clothing is going to have the most shrinkage, therefore we recommend either “line-drying” or on low drying “delicate” cycles to a maximum damp state
- Don’t use stain removers or solvents – these could mask the FR attributes
- Don’t apply mosquito repellents (DEET) or insect repellents on the surface of the FR Clothing as this could mask the FR attributes
