Sports gear requires proper cleaning. Jerseys, cleats, shin guards, shoulder pads, gear bags can all harbor germs and bacteria, and they can get really stinky. We recommend Clorox® Disinfecting Mist for daily cleaning and deodorizing after every practice. This convenient spray can be used on hard and soft surfaces, no wipe required. Use as directed for everyday cleaning to help reduce germs and odor.
