Health Risks of Dirty Sports Equipment:

  • Bacteria and mold grow in hockey and sports equipment.
  • This can cause serious infections like MRSA.
  • It creates harsh odours and deteriorates padding, reducing protection.

Challenges of Cleaning at Home:

  • The only effective method is washing with hot water and chlorine bleach.
  • Bleach damages padding, fades fabric, and leaves chemical residue.
  • Residue can irritate the skin.

Our Ozone Washing Solution:

  • Uses all-natural ozone technology with cold water—no bleach.
  • Kills most harmful viruses, mold, and bacteria, including MRSA.
  • Removes deep, locked-in sweat odours that regular washing can’t.
  • Same technology used by professional sports teams.
  • Now available for you or your team!
