TEGERA Produktpleje
Pas godt på dine handsker, så de bevarer deres beskyttende egenskaber.
Sådan plejer du dine TEGERA-handsker: Tips til rengøring, inspektion og sikkerhed
Opbevar dine TEGERA-handsker, så deres beskyttelsesevne ikke forringes. Nogle handskematerialer, som f.eks. naturgummi, har en begrænset holdbarhed.
Instruktionerne, der følger med dine handsker, angiver, hvordan dine handsker skal rengøres, tørres og opbevares. De skal også være ren indeni. Hvis beskyttelseshandsker genbruges, skal de inspiceres og godkendes. Er de rene og hele? Har de mistet deres beskyttende egenskaber?
Hvis dine handsker er blevet brugt til håndtering af farlige kemikalier eller andre farlige stoffer, skal de kasseres ved slutningen af arbejdsdagen – eller tidligere, hvis det anbefales.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do other manufacturers of protective gloves recommend using a washing machine for cleaning and not TEGERA?
Answer: Gloves can undergo a standardised test to ensure that domestic or industrial washing does not affect the performance levels. However, these tests are only performed on unused gloves. Therefore, the result from the tests cannot fairly be extrapolated to used gloves.
Who’s responsible for the glove if a laundry service provider washes the gloves and later supply it to users?
Answer: If a laundry service provider washes the glove it’s his responsibility to make sure that the washing doesn’t jeopardize the performance levels of the gloves.
If laundry symbols are provided on the gloves the relevant performance-related tests
of the specific standards have been performed on the gloves, before and after they have
been subjected to the maximum recommended number of cleaning cycles using the
claimed cleaning instructions.
If laundry symbols are provided, Tegera® gloves should be washed at the temperature indicated on the symbol, do not use bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, dry clean or wring, unless otherwise stated on the label. It is the customer or launderer who is responsible for the performance of the gloves after laundering when the gloves have already been used.
Some laundry provider washes the gloves and then re-test the performance levels at a test house, can these results be trusted?
Answer: The results can be an indicator however tests should only be performed at accredited test institutes.
Is there a difference between washing and cleaning a glove?
Answer: In some case, it can be. Perclorethylene (perc) are often used to clean leather which is a process without water, while washing is usually done in a washing machine with different water temperatures, detergents and number of cycles.
