LAUNDERING TIPS
AND CHEMICAL. USE
Work clothes soiled with chemicals
need special laundering attention.
So do the people wearing the
clothes, and experts recommend that
farmers remove contaminated clothing
and equipment outdoors. They should
also remember to shampoo their hair
and scrub themselves thoroughly in the
shower before putting on clean clothes.
The following precautions for the
person handling contaminated clothing
are suggested:
• handle soiled clothing with rubber
gloves,
• when applicable, remove pesticide
granules from cuffs and pockets
outdoors,
• discard any garment saturated with
a full-strength chemical concentrate,
• use disposable plastic garbage bags
for the temporary storage of pesticide -
soiled clothes before washing,
• wash protective clothing after you
finish spraying for the day.
When you wash and dry:
• wash pesticide -soiled clothing
separately from regular family laundry,
• avoid overcrowding clothes in the
washing machine,
• pre -treat pesticide -soiled clothing
with a laundry stain -removal product
intended for oil stains when an oil -base
(emulsifiable) chemical formulation
has been used,
• pre -rinse pesticide -soiled clothing
on the pre-soak cycle of automatic
washer,
• use the hot-water setting and a full
water level,
• use heavy-duty detergent and the
recommended amount,
• wash clothes two or three times,
• line -dry clothes to prevent possible
contamination of the dryer and to
increase the chemical breakdown of
pesticide residues,
• after use, run the machine through
full cycle with hot water and detergent,
• wash hard hat, goggles, and
respirator (avoid getting charcoal filter
wet, remove if possible) in hot soapy
water daily.
