Does your hockey gear needed a professional cleaning?
Maddy Russell and Maureen Cooney of Penalty Box Sports have an
arrangement with a business "Clean Gear" in Rochester that cleans
equipment (www.clean-gear.com). Actually they clean almost
everything, but they specialize in hockey stuff. They have this
big machine that has compartments for 8 separate sets of
gear.?nbsp; It takes a couple hours to run the gear through the
machine, but when the cycle is complete it comes out incredibly
clean.?nbsp; The cleaning cycle kills off any smell, germs,
bacteria, and even mold.
The arrangement we have with the cleaner is that our store would
be a drop-off place.?nbsp; That means people can leave their
equipment with us, then the cleaner guy would come down from
Rochester, pick it up and then once it was cleaned, bring it back
to us.?nbsp; The turnaround takes about 2 days.?nbsp; There is no
additional charge for the delivery service.
Here are the costs to get your equipment cleaned:
Set of player's equipment: (pants, shins, elbows, shoulders,
gloves) $35
Goalie equipment: (blocker, catcher, chest, pants) $35, with leg
pads - $55
Helmets are hand washed separately and cost $8
Skates can also be cleaned for $8
Equipment bags are an additional cost.
They are coming this Wednesday at 10am and will return the
equipment on Friday morning.?nbsp; If anyone is interested in
getting their equipment cleaned now or has any questions, they can
contact us before Wednesday.?nbsp; They can either drop their
stuff off at our store on Tuesday or call us to make alternative
arrangements to drop off their gear.?nbsp; They can call us at the
store at 269-0447 or at home at 277-6010.
