Gear Laundering Solutions
Cancer is a leading cause of death among firefighters and dirty gear is a known contributor – exposing wearers to carcinogenic chemicals, particulates, toxins and biohazards. As more and more particles and chemicals attach to protective gear, it puts firefighters and those they come in contact with, at risk. Without proper cleaning, protective gear becomes hazardous.
