How to clean radiation protection clothing correctly
With the increase in the use of electronic devices, more and more people are paying attention to the effects of radiation on the body. Radiation protection clothing has become an important choice for many people to protect themselves from radiation. However, cleaning radiation protection suits has become a problem. Wrong cleaning methods may cause color fading, cracks, or uneven black water on clothing. This article will introduce in detail how to clean radiation protection clothing correctly from four aspects to avoid the phenomenon of black water.
1. Use the correct detergent
When cleaning radiation protection clothing, neutral detergent should be used. Never use detergents containing strongly alkaline or acidic substances such as amino acids, fluorescent agents, and bleach. Because these chemicals will cause certain damage to clothing, they will also reduce the radiation protection effect of clothing. For radiation-proof clothing, shrinkage is a normal phenomenon, and strong friction cannot be used to rub, otherwise the fibers of the radiation-proof fabric will be damaged and the radiation-proof effect will be lost. When cleaning, you should soak it thoroughly, rub it gently and be careful to avoid uneven rubbing to avoid black water.
2. Choose a suitable washing method
First is hand washing. Radiation protection clothing is mostly made of multi-layer composite materials mixed with many films, so rub it gently with your hands to increase the friction with clean water and make the impurities fall off easily. When cleaning, the temperature should be below 40°C. Wash repeatedly with clean water. Do not wring it out hard after washing. Use a towel to remove the water directly. Try not to expose it to the sun to achieve better maintenance results.
3. Maintenance of radiation-proof clothing after drying
Maintenance after drying is the key to preventing the generation of black water. When drying, radiation-proof clothing cannot be dried in a dryer to avoid fabric wear and loss of radiation-proof effect. Also be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight when drying, and do not use chemicals such as bleach, strong laundry detergents and solvents to avoid black water.
4. Cleaning in a professional laundry shop for radiation protection clothing
If you do not have the conditions for proper cleaning at home, you may consider looking for a professional radiation-proof clothing cleaning store for cleaning, because these stores are not only well-equipped, but also have skilled employees who can perform standardized operations. The advantage of cleaning in a professional laundry shop is that professional and technical workers will handle the cleaning process, and be careful not to use strong alkaline detergents. This will avoid black water and ensure the service life of the radiation-proof clothing.
Summary
Radiation protection clothing plays an irreplaceable role in protecting the human body from radiation. Correctly cleaning radiation-proof clothing to avoid black water is an important part of maintaining the service life and radiation-proof effect of clothing. Correct use of neutral detergents, choosing appropriate washing methods, paying attention to the maintenance of radiation-proof clothing after drying, and choosing a professional laundry shop for cleaning are all effective ways to avoid the occurrence of black water. I hope this article can provide you with a reference for cleaning radiation-proof clothing correctly.
