Protective clothing should be washed regularly. Studies have shown that dirt affects the performance of the protective material (e. g. penetration of resin, oil or fuel residue into the fabric).
Excessive washing can also affect the effectiveness of the protective material (mechanical stresses caused by machine washing).
To wash this garment, observe the care conditions indicated on the label and recall in the instructions for use.
