Sports Hygiene – Its a whole new ballgame.

Gyms and athletic facilities are a great place for germs to thrive, travel and multiply.

But don’t take our word for it…

Its no secret – gyms, locker rooms and athletic facilities are full of germs.

Its time to raise the bar and rethink Sports Hygiene.

  • Protect players, clients, trainers, coaches and staff
  • Provide a hygienic, low risk environment for all
  • Safeguard against financial losses from sick players (playing or not, they still get paid!)
  • Inform everyone that your facility is Hygienic and Safe.
  • How many other reasons do you really need?

North Carolina Tar Heels Football is using just one of the technologies we employ.

MRSA alone represents one of the most virulent dangers in sports today.

Contagious disease travels easily from shared surfaces and through facility ventilation systems.

Consider that MRSA can live for….

  • … up to 7 months on dust
  • … up to 8 weeks on a mop head
  • … up to 9 weeks on cotton (towel)
  • … up to 203 days (over 6 months) on a blanket
  • … on the skin of otherwise healthy individuals, with no symptoms……. indefinitely

According to the CDC, MRSA is spread easily among athletes because they:

  • Have repeated skin-to-skin contact.
  • Get breaks in the skin such as cuts and abrasions that if left uncovered allow MRSA to enter and cause infection.
  • Share items and surfaces that come into direct skin contact.
  • Have inadequate access to hygiene measures.

“I think people just don’t understand, It will take the death of someone young and high-profile for us to take it as seriously as we should. We haven’t had our Rock Hudson yet.”

– Grant Hill, Phoenix Suns Forward and MRSA Survivor. –
