Welcome To
The "HEARTLANDs" ONLY Dedicated Sport & Workwear Laundry Service
Serving Edmonton, Gibbons & Alberta’s Industrial Heartland
OUR MISSION
Wage Germ Warfare
Life in the Alberta Industrial Heartland can be messy, but messes are made to clean up……. sometimes after
the job and sometimes after the game, but always with the help of Cloak & Shield. From sport equipment, hockey, lacrosse, football and work apparel, uniforms, PPE equipment, coveralls and
construction gear, you work hard, and we clean harder. At Cloak & Shield we offer a defense that towers
above the rest. Our unwavering determination provides ease, efficiency and affordability, combined
with flexible service and proven results. Ever vigilant, we battle with 99.9% effectiveness, to
repel the dirt and germs that threaten you and your family, so you can continue to fight day to day, free from illness, odour and the high cost of equipment replacement.
Locally-owned and operated in Gibbons, Alberta, Cloak & Shield’s state-of-the-art Esporta IS4000 advanced weaponry system is laboratory-proven to eradicate over 99% of the molds, fungus, bacteria, and pathogens spawned from the accumulation of dirt, grime, sweat and biohazardous infectious materials such as blood or body waste, collected during rigorous work and sport activity, which, if left untreated on clothing or
gear, can lead to toxic odours, skin irritations and rashes, and the deadly transfer of contagions causing illness or disease. In compliance with the NOCSAE of North America (National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment), and endorsed by Walter Gretzky, Joe Thornton, coaches, trainers, and equipment manufacturers and managers, our hypo-allergenic four-stage deep clean detergent and disinfectant wet-wash
process deploys a non-abrasive, non-toxic, and environmentally, materially-safe blend of bio-degradable and phosphate free detergents, solvents, brighteners, and fragrance infusers to penetrate deep into nylons and fabric, and soft foams and padding. These highly pressurized, yet stable and stationary wash cycles prevent the discomfort and dangers of foul stenches and sickness without harming or breaking down plastics, paint, glue, foam, or cloth; effectively prolonging the life of your cloaking garments and shielding equipment.
SUE & WILLY
About Us,
Hi there! I’m Sue – founder, fierce clean-freak, and slightly obsessed with ancient history. Beside me is my loyal sidekick “Willy” (aka William the Conqueror). Together, we’re the armor-polishing force behind Cloak & Shield – the Heartland’s very own sport and workwear laundry service, proudly based in Gibbons, Alberta, and serving Edmonton and the surrounding areas.
Born and bred in good ole England, I come from the land of Kings, Castles, and Conquests. My hometown saw William the Conqueror land with his army in 1066 – a historical moment that shaped a nation. So naturally, when it came time to name our mascot (and our mission), “Willy” was the obvious choice. He symbolizes the relentless battle we fight daily – not with swords and shields, but against the hidden germs, bacteria, and gunk that lurk deep inside your gear.
As a mom to athletes and hard-working tradesfolk, I know the real struggle of trying to find a cleaning solution that actually works – one that doesn’t just mask the funk but obliterates it. So, I took matters into my own (gloved) hands. I did the research, found the best equipment, and launched a service that now helps families and teams across Alberta stay healthy, odour-free, and protected.
The name Cloak & Shield is inspired by both my heritage and the gear we wear into battle – whether that’s on the ice, the field, or the job site.
We’re here to serve, defend, and disinfect – one jersey, boot, and shoulder pad at a time.
Cheers to health, hygiene, and a little history,
Sue.
