CLEANING PROCEDURES FOR HONEYWELL MILLER® BRAND BELTS, HARNESSES, AND LANYARDS
Spot Clean
To spot clean Honeywell Miller® belts, harnesses, and webbed lanyards, we recommend using a damp sponge or cloth along with a mild detergent that does not include bleach.
Complete Wash
To wash Honeywell Miller belts, harnesses, and webbed lanyards in a commercial washing machine, we recommend the following procedure:
- A. Place products to be cleaned in mesh laundry bags to reduce the chances of abrasion, snagging, and entanglement that could cause damage to stitching or labels.
- B. Wash in cold or warm water that does not exceed 135°F (57°C).
- C. Use a mild soap or detergent that does not include bleach.
- D. Wash on a regular wash and rinse cycle.
- E. Remove items from mesh bags and hang freely to dry away from excessive heat, steam, or long periods of direct sunlight. Do not machine dry!
Inspect products thoroughly before returning to service. See our Product Inspection Guide for reference.
Note: Machine washing may cause fading and softening of the webbing and may reduce the useful service life of the product. Be sure to inspect your washed products thoroughly before use.
We do not recommend that workers share Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). It is recommended that each employee be provided their own set of PPE. Most equipment is fitted specifically for certain individuals and it is best if protection equipment is inspected before every use.
