Super Clean Professional Equipment Cleaning

If you think MRSA will never happen to you, think again. John Spiering was playing hockey two or three times a week - in a league and in a regular pickup on Sunday mornings. One Friday, he got a cut on his finger and played hockey all weekend. By Tuesday, he was in the Emergency Room with a MRSA infection in his finger, which he contracted from his hockey gloves. The doctors told him that he could have easily lost his finger and he could have even lost his life. MRSA is multiplying every day and the likelihood that a staph infection WILL happen to YOU is growing at an alarming rate. Fortunately, John received the medical help he needed and is recovering from his brush with death. And luckily, John knows about Super Clean so he does not have to buy all new equipment. Instead, John brought his gear to Super Clean. Super Clean service will eliminate the bacteria that caused John's illness from not only John's gloves but all of his gear.

On October 29, 2008, in response to the recent news regarding the spread of MRSA in the National Football League, the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths (RID) issued a press release that recommends NFL teams and other sports organizations screen their athletes for MRSA. RID published a 12-step brochure that explains how screening and other precautions can eradicate MRSA from a sports team's environment. Keeping equipment clean is one of the ways to remove MRSA germs and protect athletes from being infected. Players can be carriers of the MRSA germ without even realizing it. The germ doesn't make them sick until it gets inside their body, usually via a cut or turf burn. When a player tests positive, simple steps can be taken to remove the bacteria before it gets inside the player's body and causes an infection. Teams that fail to implement these readily available precautions will be vulnerable to lawsuits when players contract MRSA. To read more about RID and this press release, please click here.
