The presence of microbial organisms like blood, proteins, mucus, bacteria, fungus and mold on sports equipment is what causes bad rash, skin irritations and that awful smell athletes experience from sports wear. You can clean your child’s jersey at home, but how do you clean shoulder pads? With our unique washing system and specially formulated detergents contaminates are eradicated. How much does it cost? Only $30/set and just $5/each additional piece of equipment. How long does it take? We guarantee 24 hour service. However, like doing laundry at home home we like to have a full load if possible. That is why we ask “When do you need it back?” We will always turn it around in 24 hours if you need it. If it is not done when we say it will be, your next wash is free! What is the Clean n’ Dry Hanger? This hanger was designed right here at the Eagan Civic Arena to aid in the initial drying. We also suggest using it to hang equipment after use. Part of keeping equipment clean is keeping it dry. By hanging your equipment after each use, you will extend the time between cleanings. Not only is it included in the price of a wash, but next time you bring it in with your equipment to be cleaned you will receive $5 off. For more information call 651-675-5590.
