I’ve been trying to find out what are the best ways to take care of Nomex fabric and have come across several different recommendations on the internet - dry cleaning and washing.

“Formulated specifically for the critical requirements of Nomex® racing suits, Molecule products clean and treat Nomex® fabric in standard washing machines to remove the unique oils, fuel, and soils that are often encountered in the racing environment.”

I found this Molecule Labs website that makes products specifically for cleaning and preserving Nomex Race Suits

I’m still not sure about the best way to clean and store them. Ex: folded, hanging? Any suggestions?

Tell Martin that real men wash their own Nomex.

Kris, You are the Man! I couldn't agree with you more, except I know lots of real men that eat quiche

I'm afraid it may be too late for Martin's race suit as it has already been washed several times at home. I'm considering driving a big track event and his suit is too big.

I have a chance to get a brand new suit that is a few years old for pretty cheap. So, I've been researching Nomex!

Actually, I wash my own race suit and here is why: I don't want her to shrink or worse turn my nomex pink

I can read a hint of shrinking my race suit here.
