Professional Cleaning OEM Care
|
We use the same equipment and follow
the same methods as the original manufacturer. Because we use correct
processes, our repairs and alterations are accepted by the manufacturers, and
no warranties are voided. We repair and inspect garments that keep fire
fighters safe, and we take that responsibility seriously. To ensure that all
work is done properly, our cleaning and repair processes are paired with a
rigorous 9-step system designed to check and re-check that garments are cleaned
and repaired up to current industry standards and beyond. |
