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.
