Cleaning and Caring for your Armor Express Products

The health and wellbeing of our Employees and Customers are of the utmost importance, which is why we have taken more precautions with respect to operations and specifically, the cleaning and caring for your Armor Express products. We have been working very closely with our material suppliers and transportation vendors, while following all updated CDC policies and guidelines, to identify ways to clean and disinfect carriers and ballistic panels without comprising safety in any way.

 

If you believe your carrier has been exposed to the COVID-19 virus, or if you personally want to take additional steps to clean and disinfect your system, the CDC recommends using a spray disinfectant or disinfecting wipes without bleach. Both Lysol Spray and Lysol brand wipes are recommended by the CDC, as well as by our companies and several of our suppliers.

Carrier Cleaning Process:

Both the CDC and Armor Express recommends you wear disposable gloves when handling possible exposed laundry.

  • Once your shift ends, you should remove your soft armor panels from the carrier and wash the carrier with laundry detergent in room temperature water.
  • Using warm or hot water could cause some of the carrier materials to shrink and change the fit or appearance of the carrier.
  • To dry, lay flat or hang the carrier and let air dry.
  • Make sure to wash your hands after removing your disposable gloves.
  • If available, you can use Lysol sanitizing laundry detergent to clean the carrier. However, according to the CDC guidelines, normal washing and laundry detergent is said to kill the COVID-19 virus.

Ballistic Panel Cleaning Process:

Both the CDC and Armor Express recommends you wear disposable gloves when handling possible exposed laundry.

  • Ballistic panels should be wiped down with a CDC-approved disinfected wipe (i.e., Lysol disinfecting wipes or mild soap and water).
  • To dry, lay the soft armor panels flat allowing them to air dry.
