I’m all for the fun and games, but bringing SCBAs into the kitchen? Nah. We all know these things can only get so clean.

How is your bunker cleaner than the scba?

Because I know how clean the inners of my bunker gear are, the scba liners are never that clean.

I also wouldn’t wear my bunker gear indoors.

Do you guys not wash your scba's? Do you not scrub them? How is your bunker cleaner than a scrubbed down scba? I have so many questions

What? Yes SCBAs get washed, but carcinogenic particles are pretty small and a scrub brush and soap are not rated yo any OSHA or NIST standards
