Frequently Asked Questions about Scraping Paint Off Of Windows
How long do you need to let gear dry?
Drying time for every piece of gear is different. Unless it is really heavy material, most safety gear will dry overnight, two at the most.
How often should I clean my safety gear?
Follow manufacturers guidelines for cleaning schedules. If there are not specific guidelines, clean the gear as often as needed. Clean gear will be more comfortable and in some cases work more efficiently (Better gipping power for gloves, etc.)
Should I clean safety gear before putting it in storage?
Ahh, yes, you don’t want to open up your storage container to smelly, moldy gear. The thought of putting your hands in those nasty gloves is not a pleasant one.
How do I clean safety gear?
Must Own Tools suggests washing your gear either in your washing machine. If you do not want to use a washing machine, hand wash the gear in your sink with mild detergent. Dish washing soap like Dawn, Ivory or Palmolive works well.
Can I store my clean safety gear in a freezing cold garage?
Unless otherwise recommended by the manufactuer, you can store outdoors, in your garage or where ever you have the room to properly store items.
