How do you clean x-ray contrast off lead aprons?
1. Prepare your materials. You will need:* A bucket or sink filled with warm water
* A mild detergent
* A soft cloth
* A stiff brush
2. Test the detergent on a small area of the apron. This will ensure that the detergent does not damage the fabric.
3. Apply the detergent to the apron. Wet the cloth with the detergent and then rub it over the apron.
4. Scrub the apron with the brush. Pay special attention to any areas that are heavily soiled.
5. Rinse the apron thoroughly. Rinse the apron with warm water until all of the detergent has been removed.
