🔍 Key Concepts

• Care of fire hoses on board, especially cotton-jacketed hose • What methods/substances are safe vs. damaging for fabric fire hose covers • How to remove oil and grease without weakening or roughening the hose material

💭 Think About

• Think about which option would actually help lift and rinse away oil/grease when combined with mild soapy fresh water. • Consider which choice could damage the hose fibers or outer jacket, shortening the life of the hose. • Ask yourself: on a real ship, what would the safety manual recommend for cleaning and preserving firefighting equipment, not just getting it "visibly" clean?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that is harsh, abrasive, or likely to cut fibers of the cotton cover. • Be cautious of any chemical that is flammable or a strong solvent, especially around firefighting gear. • Focus on the option that is gentle on fabric yet helps clean the surface when used with soapy water.
