Turnout Spotter

Citrus-Based Pre-Soak & Spot Cleaner for Turnout Gear

Turnout Spotter is a professional-grade, citrus-based pre-soak and spot-cleaning solution formulated to support NFPA –recommended cleaning and contamination control practices for firefighter turnout gear. Designed to target localized, heavy contamination, Turnout Spotter effectively removes tenacious grease, tar, soot, and fireground residues that can compromise PPE performance and safety when left untreated.

Powered by a potent blend of citrus cleaners, emulsifiers, and degreasers, Turnout Spotter penetrates and loosens stubborn soils that bond to turnout fabrics and components. These fire and smoke borne contaminants can become persistent and potentially combustible if not removed. When used as directed, Turnout Spotter helps lift and suspend these residues for thorough rinsing or laundering—supporting proper decontamination and PPE longevity.
