Our cleaning & sanitizing process entails heat steaming the equipment at a temperature of 220 degrees. We use a sports specific disinfectant cleaner that combined with the heat steaming will kill all fungus, bacteria, and germs. You will receive your detailed report via email. Helmets will be checked for hair line splits, baseball bats checked for splits in the aluminum, any found should be rejected. All rejected items will be put on your initial inspection report.
Our full service program also includes waxing and buffing the helmets, shin guards, and catchers face mask, as well as lacing the catchers gloves and re-gripping the bats (as needed). Plus full reconditioning on both shins pads & chest protectors.
All equipment will be returned professionally reconditioned. It will be repacked in the bags, separated and paired in sizes. From there you simply lay out the bags, pull from the bags, and build the team bags as you need. You will be able to combine your newly ordered equipment with the serviced equipment, and hand out 100% of fully cleaned & professional sanitized equipment to your teams.
