What we do.
Our Fresh Gear C40 machines use a unique process that forces ozone gas, with high volume and velocity, straight into the gear to penetrate deep into the dense padding and hard to reach places in gloves, boots, and skates. This enables the ozone to kill up to 99.99% of the odor causing bacteria lurking there! Ozone (O3) is one of the strongest oxidants and disinfectants available, ranking ahead of hydrogen peroxide, bleach, and iodine, without any residue or odor. Ozone is nature’s way of purifying air and water. It is colorless and occurs naturally in the air we breathe every day.
Why It’s Important.
Perspiration that is produced from strenuous activity allows bacteria to form deep within protective equipment, resulting in potentially dangerous contact with the skin, and the all too familiar odors associated with hockey equipment.
Recently, an alarming number of athletes in the NHL, NFL, CFL, NCAA and high school ranks have been sidelined due to serious staph infections (MRSA) often caused by a cut or scratch on the skin being exposed to the bacteria in their equipment.
Merely “airing out” your equipment does not kill the bacteria and, in some cases, introducing moisture via “washing” can make the problem worse.
How We Do it.
To address these and other health issues resulting from exposure to harmful mold, mildew and bacteria, Capital Fresh Gear uses a remarkably effective equipment sanitizing system developed by Ozone Nation Inc™. The system was designed to destroy the bacteria growing in your sports equipment.
The key ingredient in this powerful sanitizing system is ozone gas. Ozone has been utilized for decades in the sanitizing of food, drinking water, swimming pools, hospitals and in fire and flood restoration.
