Decontaminating and removing dangerous carcinogens from a firefighter’s PPE gear and skin is crucial to their health. Ready Rack strives to continue pushing to make safer and stronger decon methods that are easy to apply to any fire department’s routine. The company’s latest advance is the new Ready™ Decon line, which features a detergent, PPE and surface cleaner, and skin wash.
All three solutions are developed using CDC-backed science specifically for first responders to protect themselves from harmful toxins that can degrade turnout gear while causing long-term illnesses. The Ready™ Decon line aims to be the strongest full-spectrum decontamination line available in the firefighting industry, cleaning all three major classes of contaminates, while also adhering to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1851, Standard on Selection, Care, and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting (2000).
Ready™ Decon Detergent
Ready™ Decon Detergent washes and protects clothing and turnouts, making it easier than ever to make sure your protective gear lasts longer! Ready™ Decon Detergent can pull out dirt, toxic chemicals, metal oxides, plastic residue, soot, drug residue, and cationic nuclear isotopes from turnouts without including harmful chemicals such as D-limonene. The detergent also doesn’t contain any citrus-based solvents. Ready™ Decon Detergent keeps your gear clean without destroying it in the process!
Ready™ Decon PPE & Surface Cleaner:
Firehouse and PPE cleaners need to be tough without leaving anything harmful behind or damaging expensive gear. Many cleaners that take on oil, grease, and soot can damage team members or their PPE. For this reason, Ready™ Decon PPE & Surface Cleaner goes above and beyond typical all-purpose cleaners by meeting and exceeding NFPA 1851 when it comes to cleaning turnout gear. In addition to being safe to use on PPE, it is also safe for the fire apparatus, helmets, SCBA, and more!
Ready™ Decon Skin Cleanser
Ready™ Decon Skin Cleanser is a foaming soap designed to help firefighters safely lift away toxins from their skin after a job or handling dirty gear. This firehouse cleansing soap does not contain trisodium phosphates, which are dangerous to first responders because they may help transport toxins deeper into the skin layers and possibly into the bloodstream. Ready™ Decon Skin Cleanser does everything your regular soap does and more.
“The new Ready™ Decon line was some of the best we’ve used,” Ken Destree, a deputy fire chief from Cary, Illinois. “It worked great for getting our gear and firefighters safely cleaned and ready for the next call. We are excited to have these new products to address ongoing cancer concerns.”
