How should I clean and maintain my McKenney equipment?
Proper care and maintenance of your new McKenney equipment will help to not only ensure a long life but also a good re-sale value. You should always allow your equipment to thoroughly dry out between uses. Equipment should be hung up and allowed to dry out at air temperature. Do not use heat to dry equipment as this could lead to premature wear and damage. Goal panta and chest & arm protectors can be gently surface washed by hand with cold water using a mild detergent (do not submerge the item in water as it will not be able to completely dry inside the padding). We do not recomment putting any McKenney equipment in a washing machine, as water saturation and agitation cycles can damage the water-resistant coatings on the nylon fabrics. Goal pads, blockers and catchers should only be cleaned with a damp warm cloth, wiping all exterior surfaces. Goal pads and gloves should be allowed to completely air dry between uses. Areas like the bottom of goal pads are subject to extensive abrasion
