NOTE Cleaning of parachutes should be held to a minimum and should be performed only when necessary to prevent malfunction or deterioration.  When a parachute contains debris, or when it is soiled by dirt, oil, grease, rust, corrosion or other foreign substances to such an extent that cleaning is necessary, the cleaning should be done manually and should be limited to the soiled area only, unless the parachute has been contaminated by water.  The method of cleaning must be determined by the nature of the substance to be removed.  Do not use cleaning solvent to clean item soiling caused by airsickness.  Use a solution of hand dishwashing compound to clean this type of soiling. CLEANING FABRIC ITEMS WITH A SOLUTION OF HAND DISHWASHING COMPOUND    Use dishwashing compound to clean fabric items as follows: 1.    Gently brush with a soft bristle brush. 2.    Spot clean with a solution of dishwashing compound.
