How to wash race suit, gloves, vest, boots etc?

[thegosson]

Might seem like a funny question but don't want to wreck this gear or take away the fire resistant qualities. What's the best way of going about it. Did some research and dry cleaning looks to be the way but that won't shift oily greasy stuff.

hand wash the thing

ah its dead easy...

1. Find woman...

2. Give said woman items..

3. Wait 6 hours and check hot press

4. Remove the now clean items from hot press and proceed to dirty..

I have now idea how this whole process happens, i think its magic or something to do with liquid faries and a Mermaid called Ariel, something along those lines anyway, im not sure... but it hasnt failed me yet...

ha ha lol... it should have wash directions on the labed dude, google says sparco reccomends drycleaning but i think its just to save the colour more than anything else...

3 or so washes is all i've heard they'll take before the fire proofing is useles.
Guy i knew who did hillclimbing used to give out like mad about the smell vs price vs washing...

I always wash mine in champagne on the top step of the podium.

Or at least I do in my head.

heres a message from the mammy

Gloves cant be washed as they will go hard.

turn the suit inside out (before that to get stains out , pour liquid detergent onto top of the stain and rub it in.)..... into the washing machine 30degree wash! and dont dry it in a dryers on a clothes line only as it will take away the fire resistance

and dont use a fabric softenr on them eithier!!
