Cleaning your hockey gear

[Buff]

I've never cleaned some of my hockey gear and I am now in a need to really clean some of it. I started to get a rash on my knee at the end of last season and I suspected it was from my shin guard. After playing hockey once this year that rash came back and it worsened after the 2nd game.

So I need to clean the shin guard, I'm just not sure how to go about it. Any tips?

Buff,

Not sure how applicable the thread is to you, but I started a thread a few weeks ago about cleaning hockey gear. Sounds like it may be a little worse though than just the smell.

Go to self serve car wash.

Attach shin guards to floor mat clips.

Preasure wash until no longer yellow.

Oh boy. I have a horrid memory. I even posted in that thread!

I'm washing my gear tonigt, just throwing it in the bathtub with laundry soap and sloshing it around a bit. Then hanging it to dry.
