Cleaning
We use state of the art gear cleaning extractors and top of the line cleaners for lightly and heavily soiled turnout gear. We strive for a 72 hour turnaround time on all gear cleaning, though times may vary based on the quantity of gear being washed. All gear we clean is fully inspected, and you will be notified if any areas need repair.
Repair
We cannot work, per OSHA regulations, on gear that is not cleaned. PPE must be cleaned before being returned to us, or by us (Advanced Cleaning and Inspection pricing applies), before repairs can be done. Repairs are performed by a Morning Pride trained Repair Specialist using Morning Pride approved methods, specifications and materials. We are inspected annually by UL and tested by Honeywell Morning Pride for performing basic repairs.
Lettering
We also modify gear. We do all custom lettering for your department, including department name, numbers and member names. With all the fire department consolidations and mergers, we make it easier on you: no need to send your gear to the manufacturer. Send us the lettering, material type and quantity, and we will make the patches ahead of time for a quicker turnaround.
Specialized Cleaning
Customers with specialized cleaning needs should contact our PPE Cleaning and Care facility staff. They will prepare quotes for recoverable situations, and assist your department at no charge in seeking insurance reimbursement when cleaning or repair is not feasible. All cleaning and billable repairs start only with a valid Purchase Order and credit approval.
Exposures include: diesel fuel, paint, wax, tire fire residue, hydraulic fluid, oil, animal fats, biohazards such as blood and other body fluids, and any other exposure requiring MSDS sheet consultation.
