Step 9: Know How to Get Rid of Radioactive Dust
If you suspect that your clothes have fallout on them, remove your outer clothing before you come inside your home and leave it outside. Don’t shake these clothes inside the house or shelter.

But do not scrub your skin as this might rub in the radioactive particles.
