For Gulfport’s industrial workforce, keeping PPE clean and compliant is essential. From shipyards and seafood processors to manufacturing plants, hard work creates a lot of dirty PPE, but handling the cleaning in-house can eat up valuable time and resources. That’s why Bates Enterprises offers a smarter solution: professional PPE laundry services designed for Gulfport’s unique industries and coastal environments.

Unlike everyday clothing, PPE needs specialized cleaning to preserve its protective qualities. Our advanced laundering process removes contaminants while maintaining durability, helping extend the life of gloves, sleeves, FR clothing, safety vests, harnesses, and more. That means your replacement costs go down, gear life goes up, and fewer items end up in landfills.

Our PPE recycling services help businesses cut supply costs, maintain compliance, and keep gear in rotation longer. Through efficient laundering, recycling, and logistics support, we extend the life of your equipment while reducing waste and downtime.
