Understanding Oil Sands Uniform Cleaning Challenges
Why Oil Sands Uniforms Need Specialized Care
Oil sands work creates unique cleaning challenges. Bitumen, heavy oil, diesel fuel, and industrial greases penetrate deep into fabric fibers. Standard residential laundry can't remove these petroleum-based stains or handle the volume oil sands workers generate.
Fort McMurray's oil patch demands FR clothing for safety. These garments require approved cleaning methods - using wrong detergents or bleach can permanently damage flame-resistant properties, making your gear unsafe and non-compliant.
We use industrial-grade equipment and petroleum-specific solvents that break down oil and grease without compromising FR certifications. Our process follows manufacturer guidelines for Nomex, Kevlar, and arc-rated fabrics used across oil sands industry, and other sites.
The Cost of Not Using Professional Cleaning
Many oil sands workers try washing uniforms at home. This creates problems: oil residue builds up in residential washing machines, ruining other laundry. Wives and partners shouldn't deal with oil-soaked coveralls destroying household equipment.
Home washing rarely removes heavy oil stains completely. Incomplete cleaning means residual petroleum products remain in fabric, creating fire hazards and failing safety inspections. FR garments washed incorrectly lose their protective properties.
Professional cleaning is cost-effective compared to replacing damaged home washers or buying new FR gear ruined by improper washing. For crews, bulk pricing makes professional service more affordable than home laundry when you factor in time, equipment wear, and replacement costs. Contact us for pricing details.

Our Industrial Uniform Cleaning Process
Inspection & Sorting
We inspect each item for stain type, fabric content, and FR certification labels. Garments are sorted by fabric type, soil level, and cleaning method required. We check for damaged patches, loose embroidery, or gear needing repair.
Pre-Treatment
Heavy oil and grease stains get pre-treated with industrial petroleum solvents. Bitumen, diesel, and hydraulic fluid stains are targeted with specialized spot treatment before washing. This breaks down petroleum bonds that regular detergent can't touch.
Industrial Washing
Garments go through industrial washing machines designed for heavy-duty workwear. We use hot water and industrial-grade detergents formulated for petroleum removal. FR garments are washed separately with FR-safe products that don't compromise flame resistance.
Inspection & Finishing
After washing, we inspect for remaining stains. Stubborn spots get re-treated and re-washed. Clean garments are dried at appropriate temperatures (FR garments require specific heat settings). Items are folded or hung based on garment type.
Quality Check & Packaging
Final quality inspection ensures all stains are removed and garments meet safety standards. FR clothing is verified for intact labels and certifications. Everything is packaged by customer with clear labeling for easy pickup or delivery.
