Molecule™Technical Fabric Cleaner and Protective Suit Cleaner FAQs

Q: Isn’t dry cleaning the best way to clean Nomex?
A: Molecule™ now makes machine-washing the best way to clean Nomex® racing suits. Occasional dry cleaning is acceptable, but the expense and effort are no longer necessary.

Q: Will Molecule Protector reduce the fire rating of my suit?
A: Molecule™ Protector creates a durable protective coating without affecting the suit’s fire rating.

Q: Will my racing suit still breathe after I spray it with Molecule Protector?
A: Molecule™ Protector is designed to adhere to each individual fiber of Nomex® fabric in a micro-layer of fluorochemical. It will not clog fabric pores. Your suit will breathe as well as it did when it was brand new.

Q: Will drying on high heat harm my racing suit?
A: Nomex® fabric was engineered to withstand temperatures near 700˚F. Residential dryers operate at well under 200˚F and will not harm the fabric.

Q: Why is Molecule Wash better than regular detergent?
A: Molecule™ Wash was designed for the unique soils of racing environments. Ordinary detergents also contain additives that can attract moisture, oils, and flammable stains.

Q: How often should I use Molecule Protector?
A: Thoroughly reapply Molecule™ Protector after 6 to 8 wash cycles. For ultimate protection, apply a light spray coating after every wash cycle. If you occasionally have your racing suit dry-cleaned, thoroughly reapply Molecule™ Protector after. Always dry your suit on high heat after applying Molecule™ Protector.
