ARMY TM 10-1670-281-23&P AIR FORCE T.O. 13C5-32-2 NAVY NAVAIR 13-1-32 2-12.  Cleaning and Drying (cont). (2)      Uncontaminated   fresh   water.      If   the   parachute,   or   its   components,   has   been   immersed   in uncontaminated  fresh  water,  it  will  be  cleaned  and  dryed  as  outlined  in  a.,  b.,  e.    and  f.,  above  and  below. Minor  discoloration  of  fabric  items  resulting  from  immersion  in  uncontaminated  fresh  water  may  occur.    No attempt  should  be  made  to  eliminate  a  minor  discoloration  as  a  slight  discoloring  is  preferable  to  employing vigorous  techniques  that  may  damage  fabric.    Small  stains  caused  by  petroleum  products  or  blood  will  be removed using spot-cleaning procedures in a., or b., above. e.  Drying Fabric Items.  Dry fabric items as follows: (1)  Suspend or elevate item in a well-ventilated room or in a heated drying room. (2)  Drying time may be reduced by using electric circulating fans. (3)  When heat is used, the heat temperature shall not exceed 160°F (71 0C).  Preferred temperature is 140°F (60ºC). f.  Cleaning Metal Items.  Clean metal items as follows: CAUTION Use care not to damage the adjacent fabric materials. (1)  Remove burrs, rough spots, rust or corrosion from metal items by filing with a metal file or by-buffing and polishing with abrasive cloth. WARNING Use  tetrachloroethylene  only  in  areas  where  substantial  ventilation  is  provided. Repeated  or  prolonged  inhalation  can  be  detrimental  to  human  health.    Avoid prolonged  or  repeated  contact  with  skin  areas.    Tetrachloroethylene  must  not  be taken internally. (2)  Remove all oils and filings by brushing and dipping in tetrachloroethylene.  Allow to dry. NOTE Shield adjacent fabric material before spraying solid film lubricant. (3)  Spray metal item with a solid film lubricant and allow to air dry for 24 hours. NOTE A  small  amount  of  lubricant  will  not  damage  fabric,  but  may  cause  discoloration and make fabric appear soiled. 2-18
