FAQs
Why choose our Work Wear Wash.
High-visibility garments rely on brightness and reflective elements to remain effective, but daily use quickly leads to dirt, oil and residue build-up that can dull appearance and reduce visibility.
Our specialist wash process is designed to clean high-vis jackets thoroughly while protecting reflective strips and fabric construction. By removing contaminants without harsh treatment, we help maintain both the appearance and functional performance of safety garments.
The result is a garment that looks cleaner, performs better and is ready for continued use on site.
Should I add a Sanitisation Treatment?
Our sanitisation treatment targets what washing alone can’t. While cleaning removes dirt and residue, it works at a microscopic level to neutralise odour-causing microbes and sanitise deep within fibres and padding.
It’s ideal for items with persistent smells, smoke, sweat, damp, pet odours or long-term storage mustiness and particularly beneficial for helmets, insulated gear and heavily used equipment and products.
If your item only needs routine cleaning, this may not be necessary. But for high-odour or stored gear and products, it provides a powerful additional reset.
What makes us different.
The Gear Spa is a specialist, eco-conscious restoration service designed to extend the life and performance of the gear you rely on.
From outdoor jackets, sleeping bags and tents to horse rugs, motorcycle wear and pet bedding, we professionally wash, deodorise and reproof technical products to restore breathability, insulation and waterproof protection.
Dirt, sweat and residue naturally degrade performance over time; our specialist process safely removes contaminants, reactivates durable water repellency and protects fabric integrity.
This isn’t just cleaning, it’s performance restoration, helping you protect your investment and return your gear to its best, ready for whatever comes next.
