How should I clean this garment to maintain its protective qualities?

Machine wash at 60°C using industrial detergents. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Follow the specific care label instructions for optimal results and to preserve flame-resistant properties.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels restrictive during movement.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 'action back' design aids mobility, but proper sizing is crucial. Check cuff adjustments for optimal fit.

Flame-resistant properties seem to be diminishing.

Review washing and care instructions. Ensure you are using industrial detergents and avoiding bleach or fabric softeners. Check the garment's care label for specific guidance on industrial washing.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Ensure the zipper area is free from debris. Gently work the zipper up and down. If issues persist, consider professional repair.

Pockets are not adequately secured.

This model features open patch pockets and a rule pocket. For items requiring more security, consider using internal pockets or a separate tool belt.
