Clean a lanyard with water and a mild detergent solution.
Wipe off hardware with a clean, dry cloth.
Hang it to air dry. (Do not force dry it with heat).
Store the lanyard in a cool, dry, clean environment out of direct sunlight. Avoid areas where chemical vapours may exist. Thoroughly inspect the lanyard or energy absorber component after extended storage.
NOTE: An excessive buildup of dirt, paint, etc., may prevent the lanyard from working properly, and in severe cases degrade the webbing or rope to a point where it has become weakened and should be removed from service.
