TM 10-1670-299-20&P TO 14D1-2-470-2 NAVAIR 13-1-41 (2)  Shaking  and  brushing.    Most  airdrop  equipment  assemblies  and  associated  components  should  be cleaned by shaking or gently brushing with a dry soft-bristle brush.  A dry stiff-bristle brush may be used on airdrop items constructed of canvas, metal, or wood. (3) Spot cleaning.  A soiled area on a fabric airdrop item which cannot be cleaned by shaking or brushing will be spot-cleaned as follows: WARNING Tetrachloroethylene  is  hazardous.    Repeated  or  prolonged  contact  with  liquid  or  inhalation  of vapor  can  cause  skin  and  eye  irritation,  dermatitis,  narcotic  effects,  and  damage  to  internal organs.  Use this solvent in well ventilated areas only.  Avoid breathing vapor and avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes.  Do not use near open flame or excessive heat. a  Cotton  item.    Spot-clean  a  cotton  item  by  rubbing  soiled  area  with  a  clean  cloth  dampened  with tetrachloroethylene (Item 18, Appendix D).  Once the foreign substance has been removed, rinse the cleaned area by repeating the rubbing process with clean portion of the cloth which has been dampened with the cleaning solvent.  Do not wring out the rinsed area if an undue amount of cleaning solvent is applied.  Allow the applicable item to dry thoroughly. b Nylon and rayon items.  A soiled nylon or rayon item, except a personnel parachute harness soiled by  airsickness,  may  be  spot-cleaned  using  the  procedures  in  (a)  above.    However,  the  tetrachloroethylene  may  be substituted by a solution composed of one-half cup of hand dishwashing detergent (liquid or powdered) dissolved in one gallon of warm water.  A soiled area cleaned with the soap and water solution will be rinsed with fresh, clean water and allowed to dry thoroughly.  Do not attempt to wring out the material which has been cleaned and rinsed. c  Metal  items.    Burrs,  rough  spots,  rust  or  corrosion  on  metal  items  that  cannot  be  eliminated  by brushing or spot cleaning, using procedures in a and b above, may be removed by filing with a metal file or by buffing and polishing with crocus cloth or steel wool, when applicable, insure that the adjacent fabric materials are not damaged when filing, buffing or polishing.  When the metal item has been properly smoothed, remove 2-179
