Washing your Sports Equipment

 

  • Put your shoulder pads, elbow pads and shoulder pads in your washing machine. Set the Cycle speed on “Gentle”.

 

  • Ensure you have closed all the Velcro enclosures before you start the cycle to avoid the equipment from being caught on anything while it washes.

 

  • Note that if you’re using a top loading machine, you will need to remove all the laces first, add the detergent and then start the machine.

 

  • After the washing part is over, you need to put your socks, jerseys and other base layers in the machine. Why is this important? It is to ensure Velcro from your other gear does not cause any damage to this items. Also, remember to turn your clothes with logos inside out.

 

Cleaning your Shin guards

 

Shin guards can cause some odor due to the sweating while playing. However, to protect your shin guards, don’t wash them with the washing machine because they may get destroyed from banging in the machine as a result of the spin cycle. Instead;

 

  • Add Warm water in your bath tab
  • Add some disinfectants and laundry detergent in your bath tab
  • Let them soak.
  • Rinse them with clean water

 

Drying using your Athletic Lockers

 

The last process of the cleaning process is the drying part. For better results avoid the dryer and instead use our wood lockers to assist you to easily hang and organize your equipment after washing them.
