The Center for Disease Control has issued guidelines to “Establish routine cleaning schedules for all sports equipment” due to the evidence of the risk of MRSA infections. This is because the thick open-cell foams of sports equipment is a breeding ground for bacteria. Clean equipment is essential for players heath and should not be an option.
A Staph infection is not just a simple skin rash that will go away over time. Drugs for treatment are increasingly becoming less and less effective and is possible that an infection may be untreatable or at the very may least leave long term damage.
The Esporta Wash System is the leading provider of sports equipment cleaning systems in the world and kills 99.9997% of mold, bacteria, fungus and viruses.
Clean equipment prolongs the life of the item, significantly reduces health risks and prevents skin infections that can lead to more severe complications.
