How do I Properly Care for EMF Shielding Apparel & Clothing?Updated 8 days ago

SYB EMF shielding clothing is made with high-quality, conductive materials to protect against radiation. To preserve its effectiveness and longevity, it’s important to follow specific care instructions.


Why Special Care Matters

SYB shielding apparel contains conductive fibers (like silver or stainless steel) that block EMF radiation. Harsh washing methods or improper care can damage these fibers and reduce shielding performance.


Washing Instructions

  • Hand Wash Only: Gently wash your SYB apparel by hand using cold water.

  • Use Mild Detergents: Choose detergents that are free from bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh chemicals.

  • No Bleach or Whiteners: These substances can degrade the shielding material.

  • Avoid Soaking: Do not leave the fabric submerged in water for extended periods.


Drying Instructions

  • Air Dry Only: Lay flat to dry or hang in a shaded area. Do not tumble dry.

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged sun exposure can weaken the fabric and shielding fibers.


Storage Tips

  • Store in a cool, dry place.

  • Avoid folding tightly along the same lines to prevent stress on the conductive threads.

  • Keep away from magnets or other metallic objects that could damage the shielding.


Ironing & Fabric Care

  • Do Not Iron: High heat can damage the conductive materials.

  • Do not dry clean unless specifically allowed on the product label.


How Often Should You Wash?

Because shielding fabric is delicate, only wash when necessary. Spot cleaning is a good option for light stains or odor control between washes.


Conclusion

Proper care ensures your SYB shielding clothing continues to block EMF effectively and lasts as long as possible. Treat it gently—just like any technical performance fabric.
