How Does The Process Work? 

Check In: Bring your equipment to SportsWash or any authorized drop zone convenient to you. We will inspect your equipment, record items to be cleaned and provide a receipt. Your complete order is placed into a numbered red plastic bag ready for loading into the wash system.

 

Loading: Your equipment is loaded into a protective mesh bag which safely secures your gear during the cleaning and sanitizing process. Special attention is given to ensure that your equipment will be positioned in the bag to ensure the best cleaning results.

 

Cleaning:

Stage 1:
TAK1 Detergent - Enzyme based detergent breaks down
organic compounds and odor causing contaminants inside
the equipment eliminating the awful smell.

Stage 2:
Penetrator Detergent - Works deep into the foam and
fabrics breaking down stains and foreign bodies like
mucus, blood, sweat, dander, fungus, bacteria and mold.

Stage 3:
Force Additives - Eliminates contaminates to prevent players from
being exposed to agents that can be hazardous to their health. Bacterial
rash and fungal infections are just a few of the more common problems
seen from wearing unclean protective gear.

Stage 4:
Signature Additive - Final fragrance is added to the last rinse of
the process to compliment the cleaned equipment with a clean and fresh
scent.

 

Drying:  
Your equipment comes out of the machine smelling fresh and clean. The equipment has approximately 10% moisture content at this stage to keep leathers soft and prevent overheating of plastics and foam used in the equipment. A final stage on the finishing rack and the equipment is ready to go back to the player.
