Here’s a great idea to use in connection with your SportzGemz.
Hockey Sudz were created by some sports dads in Tsawwassen, BC. The families behind Hockey Sudz all play hockey and were being suffocated by the smell of the hockey equipment. They formed a company called Sports Solutions Hockey Soap, with its sole product Hockey Sudz, an antibacterial, biodegradable, hypo-allergenic and environmentally sound cleaner geared specifically to cleaning hockey equipment. Each container sells for $9.95 and is good for eight to 10 washes.
On November 18th, The Vancouver Sun published an article about Hockey Sudz.
Hockey equipment can be washed and washing machines that are front loaders are gentler on the equipment than the traditional tubs. Almost all the equipment can go into a washing machine. Remove the plastic parts, prior to putting the equipment into the washer and don’t put the wet equipment in the drier. The heat from the drier can burn and cause the equipment to become misshapen.
Most of us can’t wash equipment after each ice time and you can’t wash hockey gloves or skates. Between washings, use your SportzGemz to absorb the smell and to speed up up the drying time. By inserting the smaller pouches directly inside gloves and skates, your gloves and skates will be dry in about 4 hours.
