Care & Safety Maintenance
To maintain the thermal integrity of the SFI 5 rating, it is recommended to dry clean your Nomex® suit or wash it on a delicate cycle using a mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners, as these can severely degrade the flame-retardant properties of the Nomex® fibers. Always perform a thorough visual inspection for tears, fraying, or fuel contamination before every event to ensure maximum safety.
