•±
Never machine wash or dry. That causes too much wear and tear on my plates,
not to mention the washer and dryer. And never submerge the plates in any liquid,
including water.
•±
Use a cloth or soft brush to sweep loose dirt or lint from the surface. Never use a stiff-
bristle brush. You could tear the fabric.
•±
Wet
my
plates
with
warm (not hot) water.
Apply a mild soap or de-
tergent to soiled areas
and scrub with a cloth
or
soft
brush.
Scrub
badly soiled areas only
long enough to remove
the soil.
•±
After
washing,
rinse
with clean, warm water
until all suds are gone.
•±
Lean my plates against a post or wall and let them air dry.
Never
dry them near a
heater or open flame. That could degrade the ballistic protection.
