What would you use to clean a flak jacket that has sweat stains on it?

Christina

My husband is getting out of the Marine's in one week. He's got to clean & turn in all of his gear, before he gets out. There's 2 problems his flak jacket and sunglasses. The flak jacket has sweat stains on it. And the sunglasses have a strap on it that needs cleaned. The strap on the sunglasses has marks from and ink pen and permanent marker. I believe the straps for the sunglasses is made of the same type of material as the flack jacket. He already tried to clean the pieces of gear. Using a mix of liquid soap and a pressure washer. And that didn't work. So, I told him that I'd try to clean the stuff for him. If anyone if familar with cleaning miltary gear like this, could you please tell me what to use to clean them off. Thanks.

Answer
For the ink, try rubbing alcohol straight and agitate with a toothbrush. For the permanent marker, acetone (like in nail polish remover) is the only thing that will remove it. For the sweat, try straight ammonia. If that doesn't work, lather up a bar of fels-naptha soak, work it into the stains, let sit for a while and then soak in a solution of 1 cup borax in enough water to cover the flak jacket and rinse in a solution of vinegar and water to neutralize the soap.

Thank your husband for his service. Semper Fi!
