LAUNDARY DETERGENT

Soot and fireground residue bind into turnout gear fibres, and household detergent is not built to lift them. X-Tinguisher turnout gear detergent is a non-toxic, biodegradable turnout gear cleaner formulated for gear-dedicated extractors and the routine cleaning procedures set out in NFPA 1851 and NFPA 1850. It works on the smoke, hydrocarbon, and particulate soiling that carries heavy metals such as lead, with no bleach, softeners, or optical brighteners that can compromise a moisture barrier.

Firefighter Detergent & Turnout Gear Cleaning Solutions

A trusted source for firefighter PPE detergents and decontamination solutions. We offer a complete selection of UL-verified lead-removing laundry detergent approved via NFPA 1850 testing protocols.

Our premium detergents are specifically engineered to remove more than visible soot, ash, and debris.

Turnout Gear Detergent for Advanced PPE Decontamination Solutions

Proper decontamination requires more than ordinary laundry products. Firefighters need specialized fabric disinfectants and firefighter soaps designed to safely clean protective equipment without compromising fabric performance or protective properties.
Our detergent is formulated specifically for intensive and complete washing of fire gear, without compromising on quality. We help fire departments and individual firefighters maintain cleaner, safer gear after exposure to smoke, chemicals, soot, and toxic residues. Unlike generic household products, it is developed to support NFPA 1850 cleaning requirements while remaining safe for repeated PPE use.
Whether you're performing routine firefighter PPE maintenance, turnout gear washing, or intensive bunker gear cleaning, X-Tinguisher helps remove contaminants that traditional laundry detergents may leave behind.

More Than a Turnout Gear Cleaner: Advanced Firefighter PPE Decontamination

Our formula does far more than function as a standard fire gear cleaner. It is specifically formulated to remove toxic fireground residues, soot, smoke contaminants, and harmful particulate matter from turnout gear, bunker gear, and firefighter proactive equipment.
Many departments also use supplemental products such as a fabric sanitizer, fabric disinfectant spray, fabric disinfectants as part of their broader decontamination protocols. However, detergent remains the foundation of effective PPE maintenance because it helps remove contaminants trapped deep within gear fibers.
In addition, firefighters looking for a specialized firefighter soap solution can pair our detergent with personal decontamination products to create a complete exposure reduction program.
