TK-7186[TK] Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 With the summer now here I am noticing a lot of mositure build up on the inside of the armor. I already use the Novus polish for the outside of the armor. For cleaning the inside can you use clorox wipes, lysol, fabreeze, filterd water or any other product to clean the inside of the armor with out damaging it? Thanks, Gerrit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigironvault Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I haven't done this myself but we've had conversations with other more experienced troopers on this. Some chemicals can actually cause colour change to the armour and things like that. We've been told to wipe it down with water and just air it out.

Sonnenschein Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Interesting question! Judging by the archive pics, the originals were NEVER cleaned I guess, just plain soap and luke warm water should suffice and not causing any damage.

Bushido Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I use a towel to wipe it down and then let it air out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-3425 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I always take about 5-7 clean/new paper towels with me in my bin. When I suit down I wipe the insides down where sweat/moisture have built up. Toss it in the stanley, head home and then when I get home I just leave the lid open overnight to let it air out. Close up next day, has been fine so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKmAx Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Being from the UK I have no idea what heat build up is as its been raining here for the last 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobojuice Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I never clean my armor. I had not had one problem with any smell or anything. The key is to just let it air dry completely before closing the lid on your bin. Typically when I get home from a troop, I open the bin up for an entire day or whenever I remember to close it. The undersuit I wash after each use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsavage7[TK] Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I've cleaned mine with a damp rag & air dried. Nothing major. As hot as it gets in Florida, I've only really did this a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daennika Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I use anti-moisture soap or kitchen cleaner with paper wipes after each troop. We trooped Star Wars events at a fast food restaurant, and we walked riiight next to the fryers. The smells were pungent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
