Anti-static fabrics are used across a wide range of industries, but proper selection and maintenance of anti-static clothing is critical to ensuring their long-term performance. Among them, washability is a crucial factor. Many work scenarios require employees to clean their work clothes frequently. It is very necessary to know how to clean anti-static fabrics.

1. Choose the right detergent

Use mild detergent and avoid bleach and softeners. Sometimes, detergents with added antistatic agents can be chosen to help maintain the antistatic properties of the fabric.

2. Control washing temperature

Choose a moderate washing temperature. Avoid using water temperatures that are too hot or too cold to ensure the fabric's performance is maintained.

3. Moderate dryness

When drying, choose natural air drying or low temperature tumble drying. Excessive high temperatures and strong winds may cause damage to fabric fibers and conductive agents, affecting anti-static performance.

4. Regular inspection and maintenance

Regularly check the appearance and performance of anti-static fabrics to ensure they still meet expected anti-static standards. If you notice significant performance degradation, you may need to consider replacing the fabric.

5. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations

Always follow the antistatic fabrics manufacturer's recommendations and instructions. Different fabrics may have different washing and care requirements, make sure to follow the instructions.
