I am looking for a supplier for gear cleaning and decon solutions for both structural gear and rescue gear, including bloodborne pathogens. What is everyone using and can you tell me who your supplier is? Thanks.

I am not exactly sure where Irwin, PA is located, but I am located just outside Philadelphia. You can try National Safety Clean or 911 Safety Clean. They can probably point you in the right direction.

I am assuming that you've already check the label for directions that the manufacturer wants followed to avoid losing the protection rating.
Before getting the new station at my old volunteer department,we'd hang our gear up or stand in it while a buddy hosed us off,then ran a scrub brush with dishwashing soap on it and then rinse before hanging out of direct sunlight to dry.
The new station had a washer/extractor and dryer specced and since leaving the department,I've learned that they just use regular laundry detergent with good results.
For SCBA cleaning,we use MSA gear and they have a solution that comes in 5 gallon buckets that you rinse off the dirt and sweat before dunking the mask into.Rinse again and hang out of direct sunlight (again) to drip dry.
This may not be the brand name answer that you wanted but I hope it helps.
