Loading in the machine
Step 4:
The mesh wash bag containing your equipment and bag tag is inserted into one of the eight individual compartments of our washer-dryer system (the world's first commercial machine capable of cleaning heavy sports equipment and protective wear without causing damage to the equipment). Each set of equipment gets its own secure compartment.

Step 5:
In a 20-stage process that spans three hours, the machine washes, sanitizes, and dries the equipment contained in its eight compartments. The machine gently rotates the equipment through the water and releases special cleaning agents that both clean and deodorize the equipment, effectively killing 99.9% of bacteria. When the washing and sanitizing cycles are complete, the machine extracts the water and begins the drying cycle.

Step 6:
Upon completion of the internal drying cycle, the equipment is removed from the washing machine and remains in the mesh bag for the external drying process. Electric fans also remove any residual moisture.
