TA-50 Army Gear Cleaning CIF

Does the thought of CIF Turn-In stress you out?

You aren’t alone. We know the drill: You spend hours scrubbing your rucksack in a bathtub, only to get kicked back at the window for a speck of dirt.
 
At The Dutchman’s Laundry in Clarksville, we specialize in getting TA-50 and OCIE (Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment) truly clean. Whether you are PCSing, ETSing, or just recovering from a field problem at Fort Campbell, our industrial machines do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.

The Dutchman Guarantee We understand Fort Campbell CIF standards. We don’t just “wash” your gear; we restore it. Our heavy-duty extractors pull out deep-set mud, grease, and field grime that residential washers simply can’t touch.

  • IOTV / Plate Carriers (Soft armor removed)
  • Pouches & Webbing

Two Ways to Clean Your Gear

1. Drop-Off Service (The “Stress-Free” Option)

Don’t want to deal with the hassle? Drop your entire kit off at our counter.

  • Expert Handling: Our staff is trained to inspect gear for hidden debris (like brass, chem lights, or MRE trash) that can cause damage.

  • Industrial Chemicals: We use specialized degreasers safe for Cordura and Nylon but tough on “field funk.”

  • Proper Drying: We ensure thick items like sleeping bags are 100% dry to prevent mildew—a common reason for CIF rejection.

  • Turnaround Time: Typically 24–48 hours (Ask about RUSH availability).

2. Self-Service (The DIY Option)

Prefer to do it yourself? Our laundromat is equipped with Mega-Load Washers capable of holding bulky rucks and sleeping bags with ease.

  • Capacity: Our machines are large enough to wash your entire TA-50 draw in a single load.

  • Stronger Agitation: Residential machines struggle with stiff military fabric. Our commercial washers provide the mechanical action needed to break up caked-on mud.

Why Fort Campbell Soldiers Choose Us

“My bathtub didn’t work.” We hear this every day. Soaking your gear in a tub might remove surface dirt, but it pushes grime deeper into the fibers. Our high-G-force extractors spin water out at high speeds, pulling the dirt out of the fabric rather than letting it settle back in.

Convenient Location We are located just minutes from Fort Campbell, making us the easiest stop before your final inspection.
