Apron Use and Care
Proper care extends the life of your aprons
To ensure the longevity of your new garment, please follow these simple guidelines:
- Radiograph your garment upon receipt and regularly after that date to ensure no damage has occurred to the protective core.
- Hang your apron properly either by the shoulders or straps.
- It is not recommended to fold, crease, or sit in your protective garment.
- Hook-and-loop fasteners should be matched together so they do not snag or tear the fabric.
- Do not expose the garment to extreme temperatures; submerse in liquids or place in dryers.
- Do not lean or rub against sharp corners/edges or store sharp objects in the pockets.
Cleaning
Clean your protective wearables in accordance with your facility's infection control protocols.
Remove stains immediately when they occur. If this is not possible, clean with warm water and a non-bleach dishwashing soap. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. Some upholstery cleaners that remove protein stains may be used to clean blood.
Warranty
AliMed guarantees its aprons against defects in materials and workmanship for two years from date of shipment.
