Sani Sport- Equipment Cleaning
• GBAYHA and Tom Reese (owner of “The Penalty Box”) have
partnered to bring Sani Sport technology onsite to
Cornerstone. The simple mission is to address the health hazards
posed to our skaters by their equipment.
• The patented Sani Sport technology has been scientifically proven
to eliminate between 99 and 100% of the dangerous bacteria that
can be found in protective equipment. This includes MRSA,
general staph infections, E Coli, and a variety of influenza
organisms. Sani Sport's ozone cleaning agent is up to 3000 times
faster acting and up to 150 times more powerful than chlorine
bleach. The process takes about 15 minutes and uses no chemicals
and no water. Ozone is a natural gas with strong oxidizing
properties. O3, as it is often referred to, opens sports equipment
fibers to penetrate the bacteria.
• Sani Sport is used by 27 professional NHL teams and 15 NHL
teams including our own Packers.
