Steven,
Your response was unfortunate, but predictable. If you re-read my post you will see that my first instruction was to follow the manufacturers instructions. If the manufacturer says clean with snake oil, then you clean with snake oil - simple as that.
After that I posted two links that explained what Nomex is (Brian quoted from the webpage - obviously you didn't read it) and the other explained the typical care instructions for Nomex. There was no opinion there, just facts and links to easy to understand web pages for your reference. Next time I'll try to find web pages that use shorter words for you to understand.
As for my knowledge on polymers. BTW, Nomex is a polymer. I am a polymer scientist. I have spent the better part of the last 20 years learning about, researching, designing and inventing new polymers. If I know anything, I know polymers very very well.
It is unfortunate that you did not appreciate my advice, but I didn't expect you to. My main hope was that others could avoid the expensive and embarrasing mistake of spending $100 when they didn't need to.
