Do I need an appointment?

No appointment is required. Bring eligible gear to 551 Dover Rd during drop-off hours from 8 AM–6 PM.

Will my gear pass CIF after it is cleaned?

We cannot guarantee CIF acceptance because the inspector makes the final decision. Our service cleans approved, machine-washable fabric gear, but soldiers should inspect every item and confirm that all required components are present before turn-in.

How should I prepare my TA-50 gear before drop-off?

Empty all pockets and compartments. Remove hard plates, soft armor inserts, electronics, batteries, hydration reservoirs, weapons-related accessories, ammunition, brass, chem lights, personal items, and any removable component that should not be machine washed.

Can you clean an IOTV or plate carrier?

We may clean the machine-washable fabric shell after all hard plates, soft armor inserts, electronics, and other non-washable components have been removed. Approval depends on the care label and staff inspection.

Can you clean rucksacks and assault packs?

Many fabric rucksacks and assault packs can be cleaned after they are fully emptied and any non-washable removable components are taken out. The item’s care label and condition will determine whether it can be accepted.

Yes, we accept many ACU and OCP uniforms for laundry service. Always remove items from pockets and inform the attendant about stains, special care needs, or damaged areas.

Do you offer rush cleaning before CIF turn-in?

Rush service may be available depending on the current workload and the size and condition of the order. Ask the staff when you drop off your gear.

Can you clean an entire TA-50 issue at once?

We can review multiple items together, but every item must be suitable for machine cleaning. The number of loads, price, and turnaround will depend on the type, size, and condition of the gear.

What happens if an item’s care label says not to machine wash it?

We will not knowingly machine wash an item when the care instructions prohibit it. Bring the item to the counter so our staff can review it and explain whether another option is available.
