Football

There is a real need to clean filthy equipment that is used in football, not only due to the smell, but also because players are developing rashes and are getting sick and in some cases, even dying from infectious diseases.

A major concern regarding football equipment that most educational facilities and football programs have is the issue of blood and the athlete developing a skin rash. Programs and schools are not effectively washing and sanitizing the equipment to the levels they need to.

Since bacteria and infectious diseases are becoming more resistant to antibiotics, strong recommendations and warnings have been issued by the Centre for Disease Control to schools and sport programs to routinely wash player’s equipment to prevent the spread of diseases that can be lethal to the athlete. Calgary Sport Wash Centre offers a sanitizing and cleaning method that effectively removes the blood and bacteria to combat harmful infections and diseases such as Hepatitis and Staphylococcus. Our specialized cleaning process and detergents address this concern by killing it at the source. The process forces detergents and disinfectants deep into the foam and fabrics of the equipment, killing and removing the bacteria and germs that cause infections.

Virtually all football equipment can be cleaned and sanitized, from helmet to cleats. Jerseys can also be cleaned and waterproofed with a Dry Barrier Wash which prolongs the life of the garment, protects it, and allows for easier removal of blood, grass stains, and other contaminants.
