[@Dcat75thunder]

Thanks for this. I started watching your channel when my son started playing years ago and now that he has been playing for years and is getting older the funk has arrived. I wasn't sure if we could clean his stuff this way but a friend mentioned it and your vid reinforced. Keep up the good work.

[@NateNakao]

Quick recommendation: I never leave my gear in my bag after a game or practice. That helps me keep the smell away for the most part. Takes just a few quick minutes to empty my bag and hang my gear on a drying rack.

[@LAPesos]

Say WORD!!! And to wash the sweaty clothing! If you take a few mins after getting home with ya bag, it will make a world of difference imho...i CANT do the reekin equipment n shit!!!

[@shadowbbb4010]

Quick question: If you always air out your equipment, does that mean you don’t have to wash it?

[@jimclements2890]

Jason Huang if you do that after every ice time, you’d only have to do an annual deep clean.

[@CMVids]

Why did that scorpion scare the bloody hell out of me?! xDD

[@LongclawGG]

I keep a spray bottle with 50/50 solution of water and distilled white vinegar. After games I take everything out of my bag, spray it all down, and then leave it out to dry with a fan. Works really well for me, makes it so I only have to give my gear a thorough wash every month or so.

[@AmateurVolcanologist]

That gear must've been pre-prepped props. Kind of like those pre-cooked casseroles on those cooking shows when they open the oven on the set kitchen, except no ooo's & ahhh's. Seriously, there's a lotta love in your vids dude: changing camera angles, good cuts, always sufficiently lit, etc. We're in So. Cal. so what I like to do is get out the power washer, load up the soap reservoir with some of that oxygenated detergent, and blast that stank into my neighbors yard. Then just leave the stuff to dry on the lawn.

[@SliptreamSaint]

"Remember, don't forget your Stanley Cup" Haha #VeteranMove

[@ffryan]

02:43 - I'd be less concerned about the hockey gear (for the reasons you stated) but more worried about my washing machine. Hockey gear is meant to take a beating. Modern washing machines, not so much.

[@toastymahboi]

Step 1: Take off gear Step 2: Lay out gear Step 3: Spray with Febreze Step 4: Play hockey again

[@JasonJohnson1]

+Mmmmm Toast Who told you my secret method?!

[@icewallowcome9916]

That's what I do

[@unodogan4773]

That's what I do

[@dawudcharlton]

I do same but with Lysol disinfectant lol

[@marcweiss3098]

I put it on the hockey tree to dry overnight then I spray Lysol or Fabreeze on it. Skates I make sure to take off the soakers so they don't get a chance to rust out.

[@jasonhockey4671]

I think the best thing to do is to go to the nearest laundromat, haul all of your gear there (except skates and helmet), and wash it all there. Laundromats have huge machines that can take the whole kit at once. It costs a little more money to do it but you will get a very thorough and consistent wash I have found. This is better for the people who don't have the best washing machines and/or are afraid to damage them.

[@andrewcrawford5299]

To Clean my Helmet I take off the Basket and give the helmet a quick soak in some warm water with baby shampoo. Then give it a rinse and let it dry. The Baby Shampoo ensures that any residue left over wont burn your eyes next time you sweat up.Not sure if that helps anyone but it works great for me and my son.

[@magalyortiztv3074]

Thanks for this video. My son is beginning to play this sport and I have no idea what to do. I already subscribed to your channel for more tips.

[@ATrain11267]

If you have wet gear from playing or washing and have a de-humidifier in the basement you can lay everything out around it and it will suck it dry in about 45 minutes. Works like a charm.

[@chemicalspore]

don't forget your Stanley Cup LOL you freaking comedian

[@jamescallahan5783]

Great tips. Just cleaned some goalie pants that were rank. The odor is completely gone. I put them on air dry in the dryer and it seemed to work out well.

[@Prosper_NA]

For my skates, I have kept adidas sneaker balls in them for years and they always smell great. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@Namyarg]

I'm new to hockey, as is my son. But, I got a tip from my police officer brother-in-law: he sprays the inside of his vest with an anti-bacterial Lysol and air drys. After every skate - and yes we're tired - we lightly spray/spritz the inside of all gear, give a quick wipe with a towel, and hang dry in the garage (we live in So Cal, so it's dry in there, plus, we have little humidity in our region). No smell......and we don't put our nose to our jock to find out, either. hahaha

[@SchweitzerScott]

I am not a salesperson for this company but check out "Pure Green 24". Its similiar to Lysol but purely organic, and will be less irritating on your skin. I used to use lysol too and would once in a while get some skin irritation if my bare skin touched it. I switched to this stuff with the same result and no irritation, following just about the same process as you outlined above. You can get it cheap on amazon for a big bottle

[@HockeyJock]

Are there any beginner classes for adults in So Cal?

[@akornylak]

I’ve had great results with hand washing skates with a big old scrub brush in hot water in a tub sink with either a little diluted bleach or an enzyme wash. ring out the liners as much as you can then stick em on skate dryers and they’re good as new

[@ericalt6961]

My son's hockey equipment was left to dry in our yard in SoCal, and I discovered a huge family of crickets all over it. Apparently they like sweaty fabrics. Will be cleaning!

[@chuckmcgill69]

I keep them in the sun and in the winter I just leave em so these tips will really help. Thanks huge fan btw

[@matthewr7946]

everyone needs to know its ok to put gear in washer! taking out and drying with a fan after use is great - add long sleeved and long legged base layers, and the only thing really touching skin is gloves. that real hockey stank is decomposing skin fyi, so less contact the better!

[@amesmarie4030]

Thank you! My son has some terrible rink stink!😷

[@rossutigard]

I cant think of the name of the detergent I was given but it was a minty scented spray/disenfenctant that I got from a sports store, you would spray on all your gear, just like this oxy stuff, and then stick it in the dishwasher (pants, shoulder pads, shin pads, elbow pads and gloves) and run it on a normal cycle without the drying cycle obviously, then take it out and let it air dry. I did this twice a season for decades and it has never failed me. Soft stuff would go in the washer weekly....I didnt have to wash equipment often in my glory days since teams gave us most of the stuff yearly but now that im washed up and in the mens rec leagues I wash my gear in my dishwasher once or twice a year...cans and socks and jerseys get washed weekly for me in my home front loader. I made a rack from 2" pvc pipes with holes drilled in them and it connects to my furnace vent and I always spread my gear out and dry it after every ice time though......that makes a big difference on longevity of your gear.

[@Flanners14]

Really enjoy all your videos, entertaining and informative. Outside of washing the kit pre season have you any tips for keeping your kit fresh through the season. Mine is about to walk out flat in its own after a few weeks of training sessions.

[@CoachJeremy]

+Flanners14 Wear something under your gear and take that out and wash it after each skate. That keeps a lot of sweat and bacteria out of your equipment. Hang everything to dry before you pack it up, and every month or so follow the steps in this video.

[@Flanners14]

+The Hockey Movement thanks very much. I already wear stuff underneath but will fire some stuff in the machine. Keep up the good work.

[@ThatGuy-jw5zb]

+The Hockey Movement This is probably the best, most important video you've made. (for me that is)

[@Flanners14]

+Nick Heilmann thanks very much mate, I will see if I can find myself some space.

[@SchweitzerScott]

I play year round and my equipment barely smells. I live in an apartment so I dont have a ton of space and also do not want my bag to be stinking up the whole place. I wear underarmor underneath when I play to minimize sweat both on my body and equipment. Also, when I get home I immediately take out the equipment and lay it on the floor (If you have a fan of some sort, put the fan on the equipment), and spray it with "Pure Green 24" (google it) its an organic mix that can be bought right on amazon which kills bacteria that causes staph infections and other things without irritating your skin like a household disinfectant might. After a few hours or less it dries out and barely has an odor. Most of the odor in hockey equipment comes from bacteria that forms from the moisture in the bag. The combination of eliminating that odor + spraying anti-bacteria spray on the equipment and inside of the bag is a quick and simple way to keep the gear fresh without washing it every 3 months. I also religiously wash my underarmor / hockey socks / Jersey (Sometimes even shell) after each use even if I run down and put 5 pieces of gear in the wash. Obviously its best if you have 2-3 sets of everything to make it easier and a bit more cost efficient on the washing process.

[@malmoceltic]

hang up yer stuff after training. I use a simple clothes rack and a plastic bucket for my skates. when i wash my gear i use liquid detergent for gentle garments (like woolite or similar) on a warm cyckle. I've used white vinegar in the pre-wash sometimes. this gets done 2x/year as i play year rund. Good luck!

[@boburgess7266]

50/50 mix of rubbing or isopropyl alcohol and water. buy a nice spray bottle and spray all sweat areas after games to kill the odor causing bacteria. Works and is cheap

[@eastonmcdonald7211]

I’ve been playing for 7 years and I’m still watching it 👍🏻

[@atomiccheerio3349]

Tip: walmart towards end of hunting season. The spray hunters use to mask scent works great. It's a bacteria killer that's odorless. Laundry detergent too. It goes on sale for dirt cheap.

[@bohull4400]

Thanks jeremy I watched this video a long time ago and I've always kept it in mind so when I wash my gear I know wat to do

[@Pb-ij4ip]

Stank hockey gear is problematic, but I’d sleep in a bed made from my goalie gear before I’d put that heavy scent stuff on it. My dad sprayed my gear with Febreeze and I was miserable until it wore off! I guess it’s not scent perse, but sweet or “heavy” smells just make me pukey.

Buy a can or 2 of fresh frogger spray it on all your equipment and the inside of your bag zip up the bag and leave it over night with all your equipment in it then in the morning put your equipment in the washer I do this every season and it honestly works the reason is the bacteria in your sweat grows till finally everything smells fresh frogger kills all the bacteria(source of the smell) and the washer gets rid of any dirt or grime and the stink in the equipment

[@threethrushes]

I used Boot Bananas for my skates. But they don't sell them in Czech Republic. I just put gloves and shin pads in the washing machine as I got a weird rash on one part of one finger - which I presume is stinky-glove related.

[@thirstfast1025]

Throwing in a few of those silica gel packs you get in pill bottles or beef jerky helps keep stuff dry.

[@Nogoingback424]

I wash my protective gear in the bathtub with laundry detergent, then hang dry outside. I wash my soft gear every time. I'm going to get some Febreeze anti-bacteria. thanks for the tip.

I save those whenever I can and throw them in the skates and bag. They do work very well. Hard to get out of the fingers of gloves though.

[@belevitt1]

Top load washers have the agitator thing in the center which has hard edges and tears into shin guards and elbow pads plastic. If you can't find a laundromat and have to use a top load washer, include towels in the load, preferably wrapped around the gear.

[@Johnny_Steiger63]

Is it still alright if I have a delicates mode?

[@belevitt1]

@@Johnny_Steiger63 I think that the delicates cycle in my washer slows the speed of the spin cycle . It might be ok for gear. I'd definitely suggest that you tuck in all your straps so they don't get stretched and bound up in the agitator. If you end up trying it, let me know how it goes!

how about goalie equipment? is it ok to put the glove, blocker and the jock into washing machine?

[@Jgreen909]

Goalie gear has a lot of leather and does do as well. I know guys who do but it breaks it down pretty quick. Chestie, shorts, neck guard and those sorts of things are fine but the other stuff I would avoid.

[@billsfan7883]

Skyked Tranovski I do pretty much the same thing, but I use oxy clean. 1 scoop in the bathtub & all the equipment goes in to soak for about an hour. I’ll agitate it ever 10 minutes or so. And I wash, dry & Febreze my stuff after every time I play.

Tip- put your shins lads in your socks and tie them off so they stay in. Otherwise your Velcro starts will get messed up.

[@marcogriesser1362]

If your season is over, take your gear and throw it all into the freezer. I know it sounds stupid but this way, theres no way bacteria is going to build, because of the freezing temperature. After that you take it out, dry it and store it away. I am doing this since i started playing and never had a problem with stinky gear. You can do this after every game so you wont have to wash it a lot.

[@Formzy]

hey bro, appreciate the vid...i play both forward n goalie...does all this same stuff apply to goalie gear? or r u not aware?

[@moistbagels3420]

I use a duffle bag, it's way smaller so I have to stack everything neatly and my skates are in a separate bag whenever I get home from practice I take my sweaty gear out of the bag (elbow pads, shin pads and gloves)

J, ever heard of mirazyme cleaner? it's ideal for hockey gear, wetsuits, and other related manky gear. uses enzymes to eat the bacteria. check it out.

[@AL4140]

Spray anti-bacterial spray after every use and hang to dry. Use your bag only to transport gear to and from the rink. That’s it! I’ve never had to do anything else. I do take it every year or two to a Sports cleaner. Never through your gear in the washer machine (jerseys/socks, etc are fine). I’m not worried about the gear, you’ll do damage to the washer machine. They aren’t designed for this stuff.

[@AL4140]

If you don’t agree with me at least go use a laundromat. The machines there are much tougher than a home set up. If you own your own you’ll understand what I’m talking about because you know what they cost. If you don’t, at least show some respect to the people who does own the machines (your parents or landlords).

ooh so it's ok to wash the hockey jerseys with a washing machine ? i was told that it was prohobitted as it could rip off the polyester so i wash my jersey manually and without detergent but bath soap and shampoo as they contain softer liquid than detergent which detergent can melt the polyester

[@jver4722]

I've always just thrown mine into the washer. No issues so far. :)

[@themaskedamateurmagician1209]

or maybe your jersey wasn't made out of polyester ?

[@jver4722]

Latif no they are polyester. Tron and CCM brand. I always wash everything on cold, with a mild detergent and have never had issues. We have a front loading washing machine if that makes a difference? But if yours is a top loader you can just wrap the Jersey in a towel or cotton T-shirt.

[@themaskedamateurmagician1209]

mine is a top loader.. glad i never washed my jersey in the washing machine since i bought it. well i don't mind doing it manually with my hands but can you recommend me what detergent is the best for such jersey ? i mean the brand?

[@jver4722]

I have to be honest, I really only pay attention to whether a detergent has bleach in it or not. Other than that I just use whatever we have at home. Right now it's arm & hammer brand detergent. I check he labels of new clothes/gear for washing instructions when I first get them and then never think about it again. My Tron jersey for example says "100% polyester, wash inside out, wash with like colours, machine wash cold, do not bleach, tumble dry low, low iron, do not dry clean. So I just throw it in the wash with other clothes, add the detergent we have that doesn't contain bleach, put it on cold, and get'er goin. I don't throw my stuff in the dryer. I always hang it up to dry. That's it. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
