Product Care & Maintenance

Cleaning and repairing protective clothing requires sophisticated care. Apparel Supply has an accredited Fire Suit Cleaning and Repair facility. This includes programmed washers, dryers, bar coding and product tracking. Apparel Supply Care & Maintenance has the most experienced and knowledgeable clothing experts in Ireland. You name the cleaning challenge and we’ve seen it and solved it. We can clean heavy concentrations of fuels, oils, paint, resins, grease, acids, tar and other harmful contaminants. This is the “red bag stuff” and you certainly don’t want it hanging around. We use an exclusive disinfection and sterilization process for suspected or known blood-borne pathogen contaminants or other viruses and bacteria. Not all damage is visible and not every symptom you spot means the gear requires repair. Charring or tearing on an outer shell may be fairly easy to spot, but do you know what’s going on with your moisture barrier? Does your moisture barrier leak? The professionals at Apparel Supply Care & Maintenance can answer these questions for you. Fire fighting is hard work and even the toughest gear will experience wear and tear. But, worn or damaged gear is often repairable and a more cost-effective solution than replacement. We’ve been in the repair business for more than 15 years and our experience as a manufacturer gives us additional insight to repairing gear. We understand how it’s designed to work.
