How should insulated booms be cleaned?

Insulated booms should be cleaned using hand washing because this method effectively removes dirt and debris without damaging the insulation material. Hand washing allows for a more controlled, gentle approach that can prevent potential harm to the integrity of the boom and maintain its insulating properties.

Using chemicals could potentially degrade the insulation material or leave harmful residues. High-pressure washing may also cause physical damage to the booms, such as tearing or compromising the seals, while steam cleaning might introduce moisture that can be detrimental to insulation. Thus, hand washing is the most suitable and safest method to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of insulated booms.
