Care and Cleaning of your New Driver's Suit
Congratulations, your new suit is the coolest, safest, most comfortable suit on the market today!
WARNING: ANY fire retardant suit is minimal protection at best. All suits should be used with fire retardant underwear for increased fire protection. BEFORE wearing any suit for the first time, it is IMPERATIVE to dry clean or wash to insure it's fire rating. During manufacture of the materials, chemical residue, starch, dyes and contaminants are introduced. Failure to clean first may cause skin rash, itching, color transfer, and reduced fire protection. After each use, suit should be cleaned following instructions, and stored in a lint free container. Any oil or grease stain lowers ratings significantly. To preserve colors, keep suit out of direct sunlight whenever possible.
DRY CLEANING/WASHING: Hand washing in cool water using only WOOLITE is recommended, COOL cycle spin drying is acceptable, however, suit may be hung on a wooden hanger, wrapped with a towel to simulate shoulders, for drip drying. If you chose to have dry cleaned, make sure the cleaner regularly changes his cleaning solution. Have cleaned inside-out and placed in a nylon net bag to prevent seam stress from agitation. (Same for Machine Washing.) NEVER USE BLEACH or phosphate detergents on any firesuit. DO NOT IRON or use steam pressers. Lastly, avoid contact under all conditions with oil, grease, solvents and aerosols.
COLOR FASTNESS (FADING): ALL fire retardant materials are prone to fading when exposed to sunlight - especially through a glass window. Certain colors (purple, red) fade extremely fast. NEVER leave drivers gear in the backseat of your car between races. Purple can fade to pink in as little as two weeks in the summertime under these conditions. Kept out of sunlight and in an equipment bag, your suit will give many years of color bright service. BELL/ PYROTECT does NOT guarantee against color fade, nor will the original fabric manufacturer. Color life is solely dependent upon sunlight exposure and wear. (In fire retardant materials the "color" is applied over the base material - i.e., it is a surface colorant only, thus making it prone to accelerated fading).
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS: No driver, crew worker or spectator should be allowed near any fuel source unless wearing ONLY 100% cotton or wool apparel. ANY man-made material (polyester, acrylic, etc.) will burn and melt into the skin (requiring skin grafting). This is especially important in underwear, socks and gloves. We now place labels under the epaulets or low on the waistband of our suits for this reason, and their location must be pointed out to technical inspectors. Plastics should be avoided in shoes and gloves.
