CleanGear can remove dangerous staph infections  that can get into your skin from sports gear that has not been cleaned. Avoid sharing personal items (e.g., towels, washcloth, razor, clothing, or uniforms hockey equipment etc) that may have had contact with the infected wound and potentially infectious material.

A staph infection is the common term for any of the staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Wow, now there's a mouthful. No wonder people call it a staff infection. Anyway, these bacterium live outside of our body on our skin, are usually well behaved. The problem begins when a skin break or cut occurs and these little germs crawl inside of you for a look around.

Most staph symptoms appear as pus-producing protuberances on the skin, but they can also form inside of the body and attach themselves to organs and such. There are some pretty common infections which include:
Folliculitis: A pus-filled series of bumps that form on hair follicles and are usually very itchy.
Boils: These nasty guys take root deeper in hair follicles and create large, painful, pus-filled bumps that usually appear on the face or neck.
Sties: An infection of the eyelash follicles which result in a painful and pus-filled red bump inside of the eyelid.

Impetigo: An infection that causes pus-filled blisters around the mouth and nose and is very common among children.
Abscesses: Infections that create pus-filled lesions internally and usually affect your organs.
The Center for Disease Control recently released a report that cited clusters of a dangerous skin and soft tissue infection among athletes across the country.

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aures is the long name for a stubborn staff infection — usually contracted in a health-care environment — that can cause fever, pus, pain and swelling. Severe cases can lead to hospitalization.  
“It’s a staff infection with a fancy name because it doesn’t respond to penicillin-based medication. It mutated — kind of like STDs do — so you can’t treat it with the same stuff you normally would.
