Cleaning and maintaining your Honeywell GL-RGA Proximity Gauntlet gloves is important to ensure their effectiveness and longevity. Here are the recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures:
1. Routine Cleaning:
- Brush off any loose debris.
- Fill a utility sink with warm water.
- Use a mild detergent with a pH range of 6.0 to 10.5.
- Gently scrub the exterior of the gloves with a soft-bristle brush, except for the aluminized shell in proximity firefighting gloves (use a sponge or soft cloth for cleaning soil from these surfaces).
- Drain and rinse the sink with clean water, then refill it with warm water.
- Gently wash the interior of the gloves by immersing them in water with a mild detergent.
- Drain the sink and thoroughly rinse the gloves. Conduct a second rinse if necessary.
- Inspect the gloves and, if needed, rewash them or submit them for advanced cleaning procedures.
- Dry the gloves by gently squeezing them dry. Do not wring them tightly.
- Hang the gloves for air drying in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Do not force-dry them with a hair dryer or place them over a heating duct or radiator.
2. Advanced Cleaning:
- Advanced cleaning should be performed at least every 12 months or when soiling requires additional cleaning.
- Advanced cleaning must be done by a verified organization or an accepted Independent Service Provider (ISP) qualified by Honeywell.
3. Decontamination:
- If the gloves become contaminated with blood or body fluids, isolate them immediately and inform your supervisor. Advanced cleaning using specialized procedures is required.
- If the gloves become contaminated with chemicals or other hazardous substances, isolate them and remove them from service. Inform your supervisor and do not wear the gloves until contamination is verified to be cleared.
4. Repairs:
- Do not attempt to repair the gloves. Report any damage to your supervisor and obtain a replacement pair from Honeywell or a qualified organization.
5. Retirement and Disposal:
- The decision for the continued service of the gloves should be made by a qualified individual within your department or organization.
- Gloves that are no longer deemed serviceable due to damage, contamination, or other unsafe conditions must be disposed of in a way that prevents reuse.
- Contaminated gloves must be disposed of according to federal, state/provincial, or local regulations.
