How to clean fire gear?

Special gear for the fire brigade does not like washing machines. Washing in tumble washing and drying machines damages their construction, especially the delicate membrane.

Cleaning with the use of „dry” chemicals is also not a solution. Although it does not damage fabrics, it does not remove biological factors that are harmful to health. Months or even years of wearing such contaminated gear increases the risk of developing serious cancers.

By cleaning your firefighter’s gear in this way, you reduce its service time. Detergents mixed with water also do not remove hazardous substances. Carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbons are present in fabrics even after many washes.

You can get rid of toxic compounds from fires only thanks to the professional Decontex decontamination service.

Processes based on water and detergent are unable to remove dangerous contamination. It is to avoid to put dirty and/or contaminated gear in traditional washing machines.

A European study on cleaning efficiency shows following results:

Firefighter suit before and after decontamination

2 uniforms
= 40% clean

Firefighter suit cleaned in only 15% after treating with regular water

3 uniforms
= 15% clean
