WHY CLEAN GEAR?

This became a passion project after my son started playing hockey. After getting tired of the stench that comes along with hockey arenas, I knew there had to be an answer. That’s when I came across the technology we use at Clean Gear.

The same ozone technology is used by the NHL, NFL, CFL, MLB, Military, Homeland Security, and Law Enforcement. When I found out this is how the NHL keeps their gear smelling fresh and keeping it sanitized, I knew I wanted the same for my young hockey player.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Clean Gear utilizes ozone, a naturally occurring gas, to sanitize sports equipment. The process involves converting oxygen into ozone within a sealed chamber, allowing the ozone to permeate and neutralize organic materials such as bacteria, viruses, germs, molds, fungus, and odors. Following the cleaning process, the ozone is converted back into oxygen, leaving the equipment sanitized and safe for use.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
  • Removes persistent odors from equipment
  • Eliminates harmful bacteria and viruses by up to 99.7%
  • Prolongs the lifespan of your equipment
  • Prevents the transmission of infections and diseases
  • Ensures equipment remains undamaged during the cleaning process
MY ATHLETIC GEAR STINKS, CAN CLEAN GEAR HELP?

Yes! With our ozone technology, we can effectively reduce odors. It’s important to note that odors are often caused by bacteria thriving on sports gear. By eliminating the bacteria, our cleaning process helps prevent further odor buildup, leaving your gear smelling fresh and clean.


CAN YOU REMOVE STAINS?

No, we utilize a waterless system which means any stains present on the equipment will remain. However, our cleaning process is designed to disinfect and sterilize the equipment, effectively reducing odors and ensuring it is free from harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.

WHAT CHEMICALS DO YOU USE?

Clean Gear does not use chemicals; we use a machine that uses ozone, which is naturally found on Earth. It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, chemical-free, and waterless, which will help preserve your gear for longer.

The machine we use has been third-party tested by independent labs. During COVID-19, these machines were also utilized in hospitals to help sanitize and disinfect PPE gear.

WHAT CAN WE CLEAN?

Clean Gear can effectively clean a diverse range of sports equipment, including but not limited to helmets, skates, cleats, goalie pads, shin guards, jock straps, goalie gloves, baseball gloves, boxing gloves, batting gloves, exercise mats, and more.
