Do you wash all the hockey equipment a player wears?
We normally don’t wash things that traditional machines wash (underwear, socks and towels for example), although we do wash entire sets of jerseys.

How soon will the smell come back after it’s cleaned?
How quickly the smell returns will depend on the individual, how frequently the equipment is used, and how effectively it’s dried after each use. Under normal usage (1-3 times per week), equipment can remain fresh for 2 to 3 months.
My equipment is old and has never been cleaned. Will the machine damage my equipment?
Absolutely not. Our professional washing system features patented technology and extensively tested cleaning agents designed specifically for sports equipment. Your equipment is placed in an individual compartment of our wash system, remains stationary throughout the entire process, and never comes into contact with other pieces of equipment.
All equipment is carefully inspected  and any defects will be noted during this inspection. Equipment that is too old or already damaged will not be cleaned . Unless the customer acknowledges the existing damage and consents to have the equipment cleaned at their own risk.
If you can clean hockey equipment, can you clean other things too?
Yes! We specialize in cleaning and sanitizing hockey equipment. However, our washer-dryer system,  is also designed to clean football, lacrosse, baseball, and roller hockey equipment, and more.
