Step 2 Tell us about your item

These details let us confirm the right process before you arrive. Everything is checked again with you at drop-off.

Please choose the type of item you are booking in.

Please tell us the main problem or treatment required.

A preference, not a confirmed appointment — we confirm the time with you before you visit.

Please choose a preferred drop-off date.

Helpful but not required — we go through the item with you at check-in and record its condition together.

After you book, bring your item to The Gear Spa with your order number. We check it in with you, record its condition, and treatment begins once it has been assessed and accepted.

We work with reasonable care and skill, but cleaning cannot guarantee that every stain or odour will be removed, and existing wear can become more visible. We record your item's condition with you at check-in and explain any specific risks before we begin.

What’s included

  • A controlled Professional Wash & Dry matched to high-vis fabric, with careful handling of reflective strips and trims.
  • Removal of ingrained site soil, dust, oil and grease, followed by thorough drying to prevent damp retention and odour.
  • Standard wash from £29.99, or add the Sterilisation Treatment for +£10 (£39.99) for additional odour control.
  • Priced per garment rather than by weight — this service covers your high-vis trousers, not a mixed laundry load.

Suitable for

  • Standard high-vis work trousers in fluorescent yellow or orange
  • Insulated, lined and waterproof-lined high-vis trousers
  • Over-trousers and multi-pocket or holster-pocket site trousers
  • Trousers with sewn-on or heat-applied reflective strips
  • Trousers carrying ingrained dirt, mud, dust, oil or grease
  • Everyday work trousers that have dulled and need a thorough refresh

Not suitable for

  • Trousers whose reflective tape is already lifting, cracked or peeling away
  • Garments with irreparable rips, blown seams or failed zips that washing cannot restore
  • Items contaminated with hazardous substances such as chemicals, solvents, asbestos or biohazards, which we are unable to accept
  • Heavily fuel- or oil-soaked trousers where residue may be reduced but not fully lifted
  • High-vis jackets or vests, which are better matched to their own dedicated service

The specialist process

Each pair is assessed, then cleaned using a controlled, fabric-specific process rather than a standard laundry cycle. We lift ingrained dirt, dust, oils and site contaminants that dull fluorescent fabric, while protecting reflective strips, seams and fabric integrity so the trousers keep their daytime brightness and site-ready appearance.

The trousers are then dried thoroughly to guard against damp retention and odour build-up, and handed back clean and ready for site use. Where you add the Sterilisation Treatment, a professional sanitising stage targets and reduces odour-causing bacteria, fungi and mould held deep in the fibres.

Will washing damage the reflective strips? p>No. We use a controlled, fabric-specific process designed to protect sewn-on and heat-applied reflective tape, seams and fabric integrity. If the tape on your trousers is already lifting, cracked or peeling, we will flag it with you at check-in, before any treatment begins./p>

Can you clean insulated or lined high-vis trousers? p>Yes. The service suits both standard and insulated or lined high-vis trousers, including waterproof-lined and over-trouser styles. Each pair is matched to the right process for its construction./p>

What does the Sterilisation Treatment upgrade add? p>For +£10 (£39.99 in total) we add a professional sanitising stage that targets and reduces odour-causing bacteria, fungi and mould held deep in the fibres — useful for trousers carrying persistent sweat or damp odour./p>
