CitroSqueeze, a detergent for firefighter personal protection equipment (PPE) and turnout gear, has been formally acquired by Circul-Air.

CitroSqueeze has produced outcomes that have been demonstrated for more than 20 years. Over 3 million pieces of equipment were safely cleaned, independent service providers (ISPs) in North America and abroad trust Circul-Air. Performance in real-world fire service applications validated by a third party

Because CitroSqueeze dependably delivers where it matters most—protecting firemen and maintaining gear integrity—Circul-Air has incorporated it into their extractor systems for years.

It is now formally a member of the Circul-Air line of cancer prevention products.

The Implications for Departments

  • Ongoing reliable performance
  • Has a stronger integration in the Wash It. Dry It. Store It. ecosystem
  • One-stop shop for an established cycle programming, chemistry, and equipment system that has been validated by UL Labs.

“This acquisition represents our commitment to providing fire departments with turnkey solutions that work seamlessly together,” said Justin Christensen, President at Circul-Air Corp. “When firefighters use our extractor systems, equipped with a pre-configured dosing pump that doses CitroSqueeze®, they get a clean they can trust from day one.”
