Laundering of Flame Resistant Work Clothing. "Clothing made of flame resistant (FR) fabrics works best when soils are removed. The contamination of fabrics with flammable soils should be avoided and the garments should be cleaned thoroughly before being worn. To ensure that cleaning the garment does not put the flame resistant characteristics at risk each manufacturer provides guidance about proper cleaning." 4:56:38 PM
