About Us

Every set of gear we clean represents someone’s mission, training, or return home. That responsibility drives everything we do.

Home » About

At CIF Cleaning Services and Sales, our mission is simple –to serve those who serve.

For over 10 years, we’ve proudly supported Marines, Sailors, and Soldiers by providing affordable, reliable cleaning services for CIF/IIF/TA-50 gear.

Integrity, Respect and Excellence

We started with one location and a commitment to integrity, respect, and excellence—and we’ve grown into a trusted name with multiple locations dedicated to helping service members save time and money. Our process is built on strict attention to detail, efficiency, and the highest standards, because we know gear readiness isn’t optional—it’s essential.

More than Gear Cleaning

But we’re more than just a cleaning company. We’re a veteran-owned business that puts people first—our customers, our team, and our community. We don’t measure success by profit margins, but by how many military personnel we help. That’s why we keep prices low, pay our employees fairly, and constantly refine our operations using proven Lean principles to reduce waste and improve service.
