Cold Weather Parka . . .
Here’s how to wash it safely:
Use warm water and detergent.
In the washing machine, use the
permanent press cycle.
Rinse thoroughly in clean, warm
water.
When hand washing and rinsing,
do not wring or twist the garment. That
rough treatment can make holes in the
waterproof barrier.
Do not use bleach or starch.
Tumble dry on a delicate low heat
setting (do not exceed 90
o
F)
or
hang it
to air dry on a rustproof hanger. That
way, rust won’t stain the parka.

ever wear your extended cold
weather parka when working in the
motor pool. Grease or acid will ruin it.
Battery acid eats away at the fabric.
And, once it starts, there’s no way to
stop it. You’ll have to get a new parka.
Grease is just as bad. Once it gets on
your parka, it won’t come out because
the parka can’t be washed at tempera-
tures hot enough to dissolve the grease.
Heat can loosen seam tape inside the
parka, which helps keep it waterproof.
If your parka gets dirty from sub-
stances other than acid or grease, refer
to the laundering instructions on the
care label attached to the garment.
