I've used the ozone process. Works great. There's a "chemical" smell for a while after, though it was not unpleasant.

Gear cleaning
Has anyone here cleaned their gear through either the ESPORTA or O3 (ozone gas) treatments? Im curious as to the results of each.

Doesn't it just get stinking again in like 2 games?

I recently did the boiling water thing to my blocker, trapper & skates. Big difference. Smell totally gone and no affect to the equipment.
Add some vinegar to the water and it's even better.Originally Posted by Werknone
I recently bought a used blocker for ball hockey and when I opened the package, the smell was horrible.
Very hot water with vinegar and the smell is pretty much all gone.
As for the remaining of the gear, I soak it in water and hang it outside to dry. Be careful with the sun so it doesn't burn anything. I do this for my ball hockey equipment as I sweat a lot. For my ice hockey gear, I simply used a 50-50 mixture of water and rubbing alcohol that I spray on pants and c/a and inside of gloves, skates and mask after each game and I hang everything in front of a fan. No smell at all.
I've heard that some people use a front load washer (delicate or hand wash cycle I guess) for pants, c/a and gloves. I wouldn't do it but they claim that there's no problem.
