Product review

[smankow]

when I bought my suit (OMP multi-layer - 3, I think) last year, I asked about cleaning.  I was told not to wash it due to issues with something in laundry detergent, fabric softener or both.  Neither the suit or the tags gave a clear indication about care.  I went back and re-read all of the info from the suit to be sure.  I even talked with suppliers.

Purchasing a product designed for Nomex certainly doesn't qualify as "snake oil".  We spend a lot of money on our addiction.  Spending a little to ensure that our safety gear remains that way is minor and not even remotely excessive.  I certainly wouldn't want to find out at the wrong time that my suit had "issues".

Now, to get back to the purpose of this thread.  I used a product that is designed specifically to clean nomex.  I used it and liked it and wanted to share my views.  I only stated that I was told not to machine wash nomex using regular laundry items.  It's unfortunate that our "resident know it all" turned this into something else.
