Safety footwear is an indispensable companion for workers, faithfully worn day after day. But with constant wear and tear, they inevitably collect dirt, which begs the question: How to effectively clean these essential shoes? Qingdao Xinjiaxu Protective Equipment Co., Ltd extends a helping hand by providing a comprehensive guide to maintaining the cleanliness of occupational safety footwear.
Cleaning process for ordinary work safety shoes:
1. First, use a large shoe brush to thoroughly sweep the entire surface, paying special attention to any crevices or raised edges where dirt may accumulate.
2. Use a smaller brush to gently dislodge stubborn stains trapped in the seams and edges of the shoes.
3. Loosen the laces and use the smaller brush again to target hidden stains.
4. Apply cleaning oil to a cloth and wipe away any remnants of old shoe polish. Then apply a fresh coat of shoe polish evenly over the entire surface of the shoe. Polish with a soft, clean cloth until a shiny finish is achieved.
5. Protect your shoes from water and dirt by applying a waterproofing mist. Once the fog has dried, use a shoe last to maintain the shape and integrity of the shoes.
Key considerations when cleaning safety footwear:
1. Exercise caution and do not use solvents as cleaning agents as they may damage the shoe material or compromise its protective properties.
2. Specialty safety footwear, such as insulated or antistatic styles, require frequent cleaning of the soles to maintain conductivity and antistatic properties. In addition, do not tamper with the structure of the footwear as this may compromise its safety features.
3. When not in use, store safety footwear in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
These guidelines provide a comprehensive approach to cleaning safety footwear to ensure its longevity and effectiveness in protecting workers.
